'A...B' is a shortcut for 'A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)'.
This XOR-like operation is called symmetric difference in set
theory.
The symbol '...' has been chosen because it's rather similar to the
existing '..' operator and the somewhat more natural caret ('^') is
already taken.

DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order starting at the
|
|
given commit(s), taking ancestry relationship into account. This is
|
|
useful to produce human-readable log output.
|
|
|
|
Commits which are stated with a preceding '{caret}' cause listing to stop at
|
|
that point. Their parents are implied. "git-rev-list foo bar {caret}baz" thus
|
|
means "list all the commits which are included in 'foo' and 'bar', but
|
|
not in 'baz'".
|
|
|
|
A special notation <commit1>..<commit2> can be used as a
|
|
short-hand for {caret}<commit1> <commit2>.
|
|
|
|
Another special notation is <commit1>...<commit2> which is useful for
|
|
merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
|
|
between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent:
|
|
|
|
------------
|
|
$ git-rev-list A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)
|
|
$ git-rev-list A...B
|
|

OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--pretty::
|
|
Print the contents of the commit changesets in human-readable form.
|
|
|
|
--header::
|
|
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each
|
|
record is separated with a NUL character.
|
|
|
|
--objects::
|
|
Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed commits.
|
|
'git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar' thus means "send me all object IDs
|
|
which I need to download if I have the commit object 'bar', but
|
|
not 'foo'".
|
|
|
|
--objects-edge::
|
|
Similar to `--objects`, but also print the IDs of
|
|
excluded commits refixed with a `-` character. This is
|
|
used by `git-pack-objects` to build 'thin' pack, which
|
|
records objects in deltified form based on objects
|
|
contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
|
|
traffic.
|
|
|
|
--unpacked::
|
|
Only useful with `--objects`; print the object IDs that
|
|
are not in packs.
|
|
|
|
--bisect::
|
|
Limit output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway
|
|
between the included and excluded commits. Thus, if 'git-rev-list
|
|
--bisect foo {caret}bar {caret}baz' outputs 'midpoint', the output
|
|
of 'git-rev-list foo {caret}midpoint' and 'git-rev-list midpoint
|
|
{caret}bar {caret}baz' would be of roughly the same length.
|
|
Finding the change
|
|
which introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search:
|
|
repeatedly generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain
|
|
is of length one.
|
|
|
|
--max-count::
|
|
Limit the number of commits output.
|
|
|
|
--max-age=timestamp, --min-age=timestamp::
|
|
Limit the commits output to specified time range.
|
|
|
|
--sparse::
|
|
When optional paths are given, the command outputs only
|
|
the commits that changes at least one of them, and also
|
|
ignores merges that do not touch the given paths. This
|
|
flag makes the command output all eligible commits
|
|
(still subject to count and age limitation), but apply
|
|
merge simplification nevertheless.
|
|
|
|
--remove-empty::
|
|
Stop when a given path disappears from the tree.
|
|
|
|
--not::
|
|
Reverses the meaning of the '{caret}' prefix (or lack
|
|
thereof) for all following revision specifiers, up to
|
|
the next `--not`.
|
|
|
|
--all::
|
|
Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are
|
|
listed on the command line as <commit>.
|
|
|
|
--topo-order::
|
|
By default, the commits are shown in reverse
|
|
chronological order. This option makes them appear in
|
|
topological order (i.e. descendant commits are shown
|
|
before their parents).
