Git Version: Version: 2.14.2

When reversing a range in git log, it does not start from the expected commit:

$ git show 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b
commit 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b
Author: Some Name <SomeName@SomeAddress.com>
Date:   Mon Nov 3 19:01:53 2014 +0000
.
.
.

$ git show
Author: Some Other Name <SomeOtherName@SomeAddress.com>
Date:   Wed May 16 16:49:10 2018 +0000
.
.
.

$ git log --reverse 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b..HEAD
commit b4cfdb39f75070f143cdc2c4fbb98f4c6ee94260
Author: Another Name <AnotherName@SomeAddress.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 29 22:16:32 2013 +0000
Some Commit message

commit 6e6d5cd2a07985ae647fc19e7404ce1edf908949
Author: Yet Another Name <YetAnotherName@SomeAddress.com>
Date:   Mon Apr 29 22:35:00 2013 +0000

As you can see, the first commit is way off of the provided hash

This command is asking for the commits reachable from HEAD but NOT 
reachable from 8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b. To see 
8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b in the results, you would need 
to add "--boundary" to the command. That may still not show 
8e11b4a41ec21e47fb0bf8b76e1edba739f57a9b as the first commit, as there 
may be multiple, earlier boundary commits.

Thanks,
-Stolee

--reverse does not change the meaning A..B to B..A or something. For a 
particular A..B specification, the set of commits selected when 
--reverse is given remains the same. Only the order in which they are 
listed is reversed.
