[MERGE] Correct incorrect wording in revisionspec help

SSIA.  The information for how ranges in diff work is incorrect.

The whole paragraph is pretty muddy, IMO.  It confuses as much as it
explains, and it seems to implicitly put across the message that
differences are due to special cases, rather than the nature of the
questions being asked.  But that's a much broader question to
consider, than just fixing the obvious bug.

I would also propose this for 1.11.  It's tiny and obviously incorrect
(the fix may be wrong too, but at least we know it's wrong before  :)

 to be open-ended, that is, they include one end but not the other.  For example:
