"git shortlog"?

I use my script to see all the changes (by log titles) between the commit (prev) I ran the script the last time and the current commit (curr). Now there may be uninteresting tags and some commits may have more than one tag. Merges made before tag B may introduce commits (say c1) that are made before say tag A but with git log prev..curr I may get a list like this curr (current commit) . . B (latest tag) A (previous tag) c1 (commit merged some time between A and B. . . prev (commit when script was run the last time) Actually I use "git rev-list prev..curr" to get a list of commits between the last time I ran the script and the current head of the branch. Then I need the git log --decorate only to get _all_ the tags assigned to a given commit. Git describe does not give all the tags, as discussed earlier. The resulting list of tags assigned to a commit is later searched for the tag names I'm interested in. And then I use git log again (git log A..B ) to extract the log titles between every two successive tags, at this point I may use git shortlog. Cheers, Michael
