Merge branch 'jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory'

"git log .." errored out saying it is both rev range and a path when
there is no disambiguating "--" is on the command line.  Update the
command line parser to interpret ".." as a path in such a case.

* jc/dotdot-is-parent-directory:
  specifying ranges: we did not mean to make ".." an empty set
