Other <rev>{caret} Parent Shorthand Notations
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-Two other shorthands exist, particularly useful for merge commits,
+Three other shorthands exist, particularly useful for merge commits,
for naming a set that is formed by a commit and its parent commits.
The 'r1{caret}@' notation means all parents of 'r1'.
The 'r1{caret}!' notation includes commit 'r1' but excludes all of its parents.
By itself, this notation denotes the single commit 'r1'.
+The '<rev>{caret}-{<n>}' notation includes '<rev>' but excludes the <n>th
+parent (i.e. a shorthand for '<rev>{caret}<n>..<rev>'), with '<n>' = 1 if
+not given. This is typically useful for merge commits where you
+can just pass '<commit>{caret}-' to get all the commits in the branch
+that was merged in merge commit '<commit>' (including '<commit>'
+itself).
+
While '<rev>{caret}<n>' was about specifying a single commit parent, these
-two notations consider all its parents. For example you can say
+three notations also consider its parents. For example you can say
'HEAD{caret}2{caret}@', however you cannot say 'HEAD{caret}@{caret}2'.
Revision Range Summary
as giving commit '<rev>' and then all its parents prefixed with
'{caret}' to exclude them (and their ancestors).
+'<rev>{caret}-{<n>}', e.g. 'HEAD{caret}-, HEAD{caret}-2'::
+ Equivalent to '<rev>{caret}<n>..<rev>', with '<n>' = 1 if not
+ given.

spelt out:
