The documentation assures users that "A...B" is defined as "A B --not
$(git merge-base --all A B)". This wasn't in fact quite true, because
the calculated merge bases were not sent to add_rev_cmdline().
The main effect of this was that although
git rev-list --ancestry-path A B --not $(git merge-base --all A B)
worked, the simpler form
git rev-list --ancestry-path A...B
failed with a "no bottom commits" error.
Other potential users of bottom commits could also be affected by this
problem, if they examine revs->cmdline_info; I came across the issue in
my proposed history traversal refinements series.
So ensure that the calculated merge bases are sent to add_rev_cmdline(),
flagged with new 'whence' enum value REV_CMD_MERGE_BASE.

The criss-cross tests kept failing for me because of collisions of 'a'
with 'A' etc. Prefix the lowercase refnames with an extra letter to
disambiguate.

If the commit specified as the bottom of the commit range has a direct
parent that has another child commit that contributed to the resulting
history, "rev-list --ancestry-path" was confused and listed that side
history as well, due to the command line parser subtlety corrected by the
previous commit.

The option added by commit ebdc94f3 (revision: --ancestry-path,
2010-04-20) does not work properly in combination with --all, at least
in the case of a criss-cross merge:
b---bc
/ \ /
a X
\ / \
c---cb
There are no descendants of 'cb' in the history. The command
git rev-list --ancestry-path cb..bc
correctly reports no commits. However, the command
git rev-list --ancestry-path --all ^cb
reports 'bc'. Add a test case to t6019-rev-list-ancestry-path
demonstrating this breakage.

When using --ancestry-path together with history simplification (typically
triggered by path limiting), history simplification would get in the way of
--ancestry-path by prematurely removing the parent links between commits on
which the ancestry path calculations are made.
This patch disables this history simplification when --ancestry-path is
enabled. This is similar to what e.g. --full-history already does.
The patch also includes a simple testcase verifying that --ancestry-path
works together with path limiting.

"rev-list A..H" computes the set of commits that are ancestors of H, but
excludes the ones that are ancestors of A. This is useful to see what
happened to the history leading to H since A, in the sense that "what does
H have that did not exist in A" (e.g. when you have a choice to update to
H from A).
x---x---A---B---C <-- topic
/ \
x---x---x---o---o---o---o---M---D---E---F---G <-- dev
/ \
x---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---o---N---H <-- master
The result in the above example would be the commits marked with caps
letters (except for A itself, of course), and the ones marked with 'o'.
When you want to find out what commits in H are contaminated with the bug
introduced by A and need fixing, however, you might want to view only the
subset of "A..B" that are actually descendants of A, i.e. excluding the
ones marked with 'o'. Introduce a new option --ancestry-path to compute
this set with "rev-list --ancestry-path A..B".
Note that in practice, you would build a fix immediately on top of A and
"git branch --contains A" will give the names of branches that you would
need to merge the fix into (i.e. topic, dev and master), so this may not
be worth paying the extra cost of postprocessing.
