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?
The standard meaning of A...B is all the commits reachable from A or B, but not from both. (See gitrevisions(7) for more info.)
git-diff has its own nonstandard definition, where A...B is defined as all the commits from a comman ancestor of A and B, up to B.
