rev-list --left-right

The output from "symmetric diff", i.e. A...B, does not
distinguish between commits that are reachable from A and the
ones that are reachable from B.  In this picture, such a
symmetric diff includes commits marked with a and b.

         x---b---b  branch B
        / \ /
       /   .
      /   / \
     o---x---a---a  branch A

However, you cannot tell which ones are 'a' and which ones are
'b' from the output.  Sometimes this is frustrating.  This adds
an output option, --left-right, to rev-list.

        rev-list --left-right A...B

would show ones reachable from A prefixed with '<' and the ones
reachable from B prefixed with '>'.

When combined with --boundary, boundary commits (the ones marked
with 'x' in the above picture) are shown with prefix '-', so you
would see list that looks like this:

    git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B

    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 3rd on b
    >bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb 2nd on b
    <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 3rd on a
    <aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2nd on a
    -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on b
    -xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 1st on a
