65 DESCRIPTION
66 -----------
68 List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
69 given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
70 given with a '{caret}' in front of them.  The output is given in reverse
71 chronological order by default.
73 You can think of this as a set operation.  Commits given on the command
74 line form a set of commits that are reachable from any of them, and then
75 commits reachable from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are
76 subtracted from that set.  The remaining commits are what comes out in the
77 command's output.  Various other options and paths parameters can be used
78 to further limit the result.
80 Thus, the following command:
82 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
83         $ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
84 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
86 means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
87 not from 'baz'".
89 A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
90 short-hand for "{caret}'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of
91 the following may be used interchangeably:
93 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
94         $ git rev-list origin..HEAD
95         $ git rev-list HEAD ^origin
96 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
98 Another special notation is "'<commit1>'...'<commit2>'" which is useful
99 for merges.  The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
100 between the two operands.  The following two commands are equivalent:
102 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
103         $ git rev-list A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)
104         $ git rev-list A...B
105 -----------------------------------------------------------------------
107 'rev-list' is a very essential Git command, since it
108 provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For
109 this reason, it has a lot of different options that enables it to be
110 used by commands as different as 'git bisect' and
111 'git repack'.
