Re: [PATCH v5] revision: new rev^-n shorthand for rev^n..rev

Vegard Nossum [off-list ref] writes:

"git log rev^..rev" is commonly used to show all work done on and merged
from a side branch. This patch introduces a shorthand "rev^-" for this
and additionally allows "rev^-$n" to mean "reachable from rev, excluding
what is reachable from the nth parent of rev". For example, for a
two-parent merge, you can use rev^-2 to get the set of commits which were
made to the main branch while the topic branch was prepared.

Very nicely done.  Thanks for a pleasant read.

Will queue.
