Agreed, but I think this is user error, and not the tool.

I ran:

  git range-diff @{push}...HEAD

since I knew that I had not pushed since beginning my revisions today.
But of course "rebase -i" is clever enough not to change the commit id
on the earlier commits I did not touch, and thus the merge base is
actually patch 4.

I should instead be more explicit about the base, like:

  git range-diff origin @{push} HEAD

That shows much more sensible output (see below).

For my triangular setup, I could even do:

  git range-diff @{upstream} @{push} HEAD

but I'm not sure if that is generally applicable advice (I'm not sure
how many people have really bought into @{push} and using triangular
config -- traditionally I think many people treat @{upstream} as the
place they push to). It also needs adjusting if your revisions might
span several sessions; you'd really need @{push}@{yesterday} or similar.
The best thing to compare against is probably what got queued, so
something like:

  git range-diff origin..origin/jk/$branch_name origin..HEAD

though that also introduces sign-off noise.
