Just a quick note: I didn't know that 'git show' was supposed to
support that syntax, so I had try it out. When I ran 'git show
origin/master..' on my branch, which was not rebase on top of
origin/master, it seemed to print the history all the way back. It
seems to stop only if all the positive refences contain the negative
reference. Is this intended? Not that it matter much, since 'git log
-p' seems to do the same thing but stops where I expect...
