Does that mean range-diff got --left-only and --right-only
backwards?  IOW, doesn't

$ git log --left-only A...B

show what is shown in "git log B..A", and if so, shouldn't

$ git range-diff --left-only A...B

which is a synonym for

$ git range-diff B..A A..B

also give commits in the B..A range?

Puzzled....
