rebase: mention --rev in the help
This changeset adds a small mention of it in the help to prevent
confusion. This small addition references online help that is easier to
update and improve at release time.
Following Wagner Bruna's advice, this is added in a plain new paragraph
to not invalidate current translation this close to the release.
