Study "Specifying Ranges" section of gitrevisions and come back,
perhaps?

A list of revisions is merely a way to specify "revision range" that
are reachable from any of these revisions listed.  "log A B" won't
stop by just showing A and B (that would be "show A B"), but will
list those that are reachable from A B, so in the context of
discussing the arguments given to "git log" command, "A B" is still
"revision range".
