Hi, Is there a common name for the A..B range format (two dots) that would complement the A...B (three dots) symmetric range format's name? I was looking at the --left-right distinctions and noticed that the trail back to the symmetric range description was rather thin (it's buried within gitrevisions:Specifying Ranges, and even then its called a symmetric difference.

I would just call it a range, or possibly a set difference. But I don't think we have any established naming beyond that. -Peff
