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
