There is shortcut for rev^..rev, namely rev^! (I'm not sure if it is
documented anywhere, though), so you could have used

       git diff 7def2be1^!

   [ time passes as i read the manpage - the final thing i do when
     every other measure fails ;-) ]

With some grepping, i found this in git-rev-parse,

       Two other shorthands for naming a set that is formed by a commit and its parent
       commits exists. r1^@ notation means all parents of r1. r1^! includes commit r1
       but excludes its all parents.

A bit strange is that neither "git rev-parse pu^!" nor "git rev-parse pu^@"
work, while the same works with git-rev-list.  WTF?
