You can _ask_ all you want, but it is not clear what it does
from this description.  I guess you are rewriting master@{A..B}
to master@{A}..master@{B}, but that is not clear from the commit
log nor documentation (did I even see a documentation patch?).

Also, I am not convinced that the rewrite gives the semantics
the users naturally expect from @{A..B}.  I would even suspect
that people would expect "git log master@{0..2}" to behave more
like "git show master@{0} master@{1} master@{2}".
