+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order starting at the
+given commit(s), taking ancestry relationship into account.  This is
+useful to produce human-readable log output.
+
+Commits which are stated with a preceding '{caret}' cause listing to
+stop at that point. Their parents are implied. Thus the following
+command:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+	$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+means "list all the commits which are included in 'foo' and 'bar', but
+not in 'baz'".
+
+A special notation "'<commit1>'..'<commit2>'" can be used as a
+short-hand for "{caret}'<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
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+'git-rev-list' is a very essential git program, since it
+provides the ability to build and traverse commit ancestry graphs. For
+this reason, it has a lot of different options that enables it to be
+used by commands as different as 'git-bisect' and
+'git-repack'.
