Subject: [PATCH v6 3/3] range-diff(docs): explain how to specify commit ranges
Date: Fri, 05 Feb 2021 14:44:49 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <08c5f8732747de138c6a98322beca95e919ba11d.1612536290.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.841.v6.git.1612536290.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Johannes Schindelin <johannes.schindelin@gmx.de>

There are three forms, depending whether the user specifies one, two or
three non-option arguments. We've never actually explained how this
works in the manual, so let's explain it.

 second commit range, with unmatched commits being inserted just after
 all of their ancestors have been shown.
 
+There are three ways to specify the commit ranges:
+
+- `<range1> <range2>`: Either commit range can be of the form
+  `<base>..<rev>`, `<rev>^!` or `<rev>^-<n>`. See `SPECIFYING RANGES`
+  in linkgit:gitrevisions[7] for more details.

+- `<rev1>...<rev2>`. This is equivalent to

+- `<base> <rev1> <rev2>`: This is equivalent to `<base>..<rev1>
