Print the parents of the commit.
+--left-right::
+
+ Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
+ Commits from the left side are prefixed with `<` and those from
+ the right with `>`. If combined with `--boundary`, those
+ commits are prefixed with `-`.
++
+For example, if you have this topology:
++
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ y---b---b branch B
+ / \ /
+ / .
+ / / \
+ o---x---a---a branch A
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+you would get an output line this:

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

+ >bbbbbbb... 3rd on b
+ >bbbbbbb... 2nd on b
