This doesn't work for me:

Yeah, I'm an idiot.

Bit this does:

(faui00u) [~/work/git/git] git-rev-tree 2cb45e95438c113871fbbea5b4f629f9463034e7 ^09d74b3b5ac634495e17b92b2b785fa996ffce97 | awk '{print $2'} | sed 's#:.*##' | git-diff-tree -v -m -s --stdin

was that a typo or is git-diff-tree supposed to handle the output of
git-rev-tree as well and it is a bug?

It was me just forgetting about the time thing in rev-tree, forcing you to
have a second phase there (I usually use just "cut -d' ' -f2" - the input
_can_ have the ":n" flag thing that rev-tree outputs, and git-diff-tree
will just ignore it).

I actually suspect that whole time thing was a mistake, it seemed sensible 
back when we didn't have any other way of ordering the changesets well, 
but it's really a bad ordering anyway to do it by time (ie add a "sort 
-rn" in there), and we can (and probably should) order rev-tree output 
with some topological sort based on the commit tree.
