DESCRIPTION
A special notation <commit1>..<commit2> can be used as a
short-hand for {caret}<commit1> <commit2>.
+Another special notation is <commit1>...<commit2> which is useful for
+merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
+between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent:
+
+------------
+$ git-rev-list A B --not $(git-merge-base --all A B)
+$ git-rev-list A...B
+------------
OPTIONS
-------
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each
record is separated with a NUL character.
+--parents::
+ Print the parents of the commit.
+
--objects::
Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed commits.
'git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar' thus means "send me all object IDs
--objects-edge::
Similar to `--objects`, but also print the IDs of
- excluded commits refixed with a `-` character. This is
+ excluded commits prefixed with a `-` character. This is
used by `git-pack-objects` to build 'thin' pack, which
records objects in deltified form based on objects
contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
--remove-empty::
Stop when a given path disappears from the tree.
+--no-merges::
+ Do not print commits with more than one parent.
+
+--not::
+ Reverses the meaning of the '{caret}' prefix (or lack
+ thereof) for all following revision specifiers, up to
+ the next `--not`.
+
--all::
Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are
listed on the command line as <commit>.
topological order (i.e. descendant commits are shown
before their parents).
+--merge::
+ After a failed merge, show refs that touch files having a
+ conflict and don't exist on all heads to merge.
