The revisions examples show the revison arguments and the selected
commits, but do not show the intermediate step of the expansion of
the special 'range' notations. Extend the examples, including an
all-parents multi-parent merge commit example.
Sort the examples and fix the alignment for those unaffected
in the next commit.

I think "Result" would be better than "Selection" here.
Also, shouldn't all the ^ in these examples be {caret}? (I likely just
don't understand the rationale for using {caret} in some places and ^ in
others...)

I have a mixed reaction to showing this "C^1" expansion, and the "B^1
B^2 B^3" one as well. I see the appeal of showing the parent notation,
but really that was already explained to death in the first section.
Here it's distracting. I think it's clearer for the reader to remove
these expansions and just use the node names from the illustration.
+ = F I J F
+ B^@ = B^1 B^2 B^3
+ = D E F D G H E F I J
+ C^! = C ^C^1
I think this expansion might be better expressed as "C ^C^@". It'll be
the same for "B^! = B ^B^@" as well, which demonstrates a nice
consistency and also helps to emphasize the meaning of the ^@ notation.
+ = C ^F C
+ B^! = B ^B^1 ^B^2 ^B^3
+ = B ^D ^E ^F B
The layout of these last two lines doesn't match the others. They
should be:
B^! = B ^B^1 ^B^2 ^B^3
= B ^D ^E ^F B
I see that the next patch fixes the layout of the unchanged examples,
but it leaves these two unaligned.
