Now you confused me. A is reachable from B (or C) and you are saying "^B H" (or "^C H"). Why does either of it show A? Wait. What does "lists H G D A..C" even mean? H, G and D I would understand, but how does "log" ever "list" A..C??? Now you really confused me. A is not listed (it is explicitly marked uninteresting by being on the left side of double-dots). So we see either "H G D C" or "H G D B". We see no A in either case, no? > In reality, it shows A..B, which is what I want and what am claiming > is "useful". What does it mean "log" "In reality" shows A..B? Didn't you just say it either lists "H G D C" or "H G D B"? Neither B nor C is what you did since you forked? Now, what did you do since you folked (which is the question you are asking)? You made commit D, back-merged from upstream to record G, and then made another commit H. That "H G D", which is what you get from "log F..H", isn't it?? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
