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.

Yup, I think "range" is the commonly used word in discussions here.
When inventing A...B as a new thing in addition to A..B, we called
the former "symmetric difference", and what is implied by that is
the latter is "asymmetric difference"; we do not say that unless we
are contrasting between the two, though.
