It really is not. Think about this scenario:
A - B - C
\ /
D
where both B and D were done after Oct.20, but not A. Then you do not have
a range, i.e. you cannot represent the same in the form X..Y.
However, this only shows that my reasoning in shortlog was wrong. It was
meant to prevent accidentally traversing the _whole_ history (which does
take some time), but maybe even this is something people want to do?
Therefore: Ack on René's patch.
