Actually, that perception is already confused. The analogue to "log A..B" is expressed as "diff A...B", and not "diff A..B". That is one of the reasons why I tend to teach against using "diff A..B" unless you know what it is doing. I'd suggest to get out of that habit before you confuse yourself even more ;-). The _only_ reason diff takes A..B and A...B syntax is because the command line parameter parser was easy to write that way. IOW, it was an artifact of the implementation convenience. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
