I think it is a bug in your command line.

git log -n 3 --abbrev-commit --pretty=oneline \
1dd567d596b072e3ce44ea5ad8c373871686b078.. 2.4

The space betwen ".." and "2.4" means that they are two separate
arguments. Thus the second part of your ".." operator is blank, which is
treated as HEAD. Thus it is equivalent to:

  1dd567d596b072e3ce44ea5ad8c373871686b078..HEAD 2.4

When you switch to branch 2.4, then 2.4 becomes your HEAD.

That being said, the commit in your 'master' branch _is_ part of
1dd567d5, and should be culled. So I'm not clear on why it shows up only
when you ask to see both branches, and that may be a bug.
