When reversing a range in git log, it does not start from the expected commit:

$ git show 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b
commit 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b
Author: Some Name <SomeName@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Mon Nov 3 19:01:53 2014 +0000
.
.
.

$ git show
Author: Some Other Name <SomeOtherName@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Date:   Wed May 16 16:49:10 2018 +0000
.
.
.

$ git log --reverse 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b..HEAD

This command is asking for the commits reachable from HEAD but NOT reachable from 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b. To see 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b in the results, you would need to add "--boundary" to the command. That may still not show 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b as the first commit, as there may be multiple, earlier boundary commits.

Thanks,
