The problem is not about usefulness of these 2 forms, but consistency
with the rest of the tools.
If I go git log a..b, I won't get the set of commits involved in
git diff a..b. In fact, git log a...b does. And git log a..b gives the
commits involved in git diff a...b. Confusing, isn't it ?
Moreover, this inconsistency isn't even documented in the manual pages.
