DESCRIPTION
-----------
-List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
-given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
-given with a '{caret}' in front of them. The output is given in reverse
-chronological order by default.
-
-You can think of this as a set operation. Commits reachable from any of
-the commits given on the command line form a set, and then commits reachable
-from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are subtracted from that
-set. The remaining commits are what comes out in the command's output.
-Various other options and paths parameters can be used to further limit the
-result.
-
-Thus, the following command:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
-not from 'baz'".
-
-A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
-short-hand for "^'<commit1>' '<commit2>'". For example, either of
-the following may be used interchangeably:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ git rev-list origin..HEAD
-$ git rev-list HEAD ^origin
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-Another special notation is "'<commit1>'...'<commit2>'" which is useful
-for merges. The resulting set of commits is the symmetric difference
-between the two operands. The following two commands are equivalent:
-
------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ git rev-list A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)
-$ git rev-list A...B
------------------------------------------------------------------------

'rev-list' is a very essential Git command, since it
provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For
