Given a history like this: create new branch foo at commit a111 add 3

  • 0

Given a history like this:

  1. create new branch foo at commit a111
  2. add 3 commits to foo (b222, c333, d444)
  3. merge foo into master (e555)

Is there a sequence of arguments to git log ... e555 which would select b222 to d444? (Also selecting a111 or e555is ok).

(Ok, I think I can self-answer)

    With a bit of trial and error, I figured it out:

    e555^1..e555^2

    In other words “select commits that are in the history of the second parent of the merge [the branch] but not in the history of the first parent [master, normally]”.

    I don’t suppose there is a simpler way?
