I think we should mention that "running off the end of the log" is
one way in which a reverse continue may terminate, because in fact
that is something that may happen in all of the current implementations.

Please suggest a wording, and if it's clear, I won't mind.

How about this? (please add markups)

Resumes the execution of the inferior program, which will continue
to execute until it reaches a debugger stop event. If the @samp{--reverse} option is specified, execution resumes in reverse until it reaches a stop event. Stop events may include
* breakpoints or watchpoints
* signals or exceptions)
* the end of the process (or its beginning if --reverse)
* the end (beginning) of a replay log if one is being used.
