Sometimes my maint-1.7.8 branch may still have commits that are not in maint branch, sometimes maint-1.7.9 branch is a true subset of maint branch. "rev-list ^maint maint-1.7.8 maint-1.7.9" is a very sensible thing to ask to find out what is still not in 'maint' out of stuff that are _usually_ but not always part of 'maint'. Complaining on such a query is not user-friendly at all.
