Not for show, but also not for anything else (ie "gitk a..b c..d" does _not_ give you two ranges). It's easy to see why once you understand what 'a..b' really means (ie it just expands to '^a' and 'b'), and how it's not really a "range" operation as much as a set operation that interacts with all the other arguments too. But unless you're very aware of that, it can be surprising. Linus
