Subject: Three dot notion used inconsitent?
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 11:31:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1CDF2D38-B73A-4C49-BC10-1F3BA1873733@gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I just stumbled across the this:
git diff branchA...branchB
--> gives me the diff between (the common ancestor of A and B) and B. That means I never see changes on branchA.
git log branchA...branchB
--> gives me the commits reachable from A and B. That includes changes from branchA.
Is this because of a design decision that I do not (yet) understand or is this inconsistent for historical reasons?
Thanks,
Lars
