Message-ID: Date: Wed, 28 Jul 2021 16:38:04 +0100 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:78.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/78.12.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Language: en-GB Precedence: bulk List-ID: X-Mailing-List: git@vger.kernel.org Is there a reasonable way to use the two-dot range notation in git rebase, particularly in an  --onto situation? In my case I have a short series that depends on both some existing Git for Windows (GfW) patches (`main` branch), and some patches now in `git/master`. I'm now able to rebase it onto the GfW `shears/master` branch which contains both sets of patches (and one that was in the last git release). It felt that it ought to be possible to use a simple two dot range to extract my series, rather than identifying the individual end points in a similar manner to that used in the description"set of commits .. shown by `git log ..HEAD`". Or is this something that could be a project? -- Philip
