Hello, taking the Linux repository (with stable) as an example[1]. Commit 24906a41eecb73d51974ade0847c21e429beec60 was backported to stable/linux-5.3.y. Using git version 2.25.1 (as provided by Debian) and 2.26-rc0 (built from junio/master). To compare these I'd like to use the rev^! syntax with git range-diff, but range-diff refuses: $ git range-diff dc5ae31afbae83038dfce8d2bd35bbe7ba05a536^! 24906a41eecb73d51974ade0847c21e429beec60^! fatal: no .. in range: 'dc5ae31afbae83038dfce8d2bd35bbe7ba05a536^!' I would expect this command to give the same output as c1=dc5ae31afbae83038dfce8d2bd35bbe7ba05a536 c2=24906a41eecb73d51974ade0847c21e429beec60 git range-diff $c1^..$c1 $c2^..$c2 . After all, $c1^! is supposed to be equivalent to $c1^..$c1 (at least for commits with exactly on parent as is the case here).
