When cherry-picking an existing commit X to a different base, which
may have resulted in conflicts that needed a fix-up, you would want
to be able to compare X~1..X and HEAD~1..HEAD and naturally, we
would expect "range-diff" to have a handy way to allow giving the
command without having to type the overly long branch name X twice.
Individual "diff" for these two ranges are easy to obtain without
repeating X:
$ git diff X^!
$ git diff HEAD^!
The "git range-diff" however does not understand that X^! is a valid
range X~1..X. This command throws an error and ...
$ git range-diff refs/merge-fix/ew/khash-to-khashl^! HEAD^!
fatal: need two commit ranges
... to add insult to injury, it shows the huge "git range-diff -h"
output after that.
Any takers?
