Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool. Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.
