I believe that the error was how these operations were defined for diff.
I would rather expect to 'git diff a..b' to produce the accumulative
patch of 'git log -p a..b', but currently 'git diff a..b' is equivalent
of 'git diff a b', and this is redundant and confusing. As to 'git diff
a...b', it would be nice if it showed three way diff. At least, it is
how I would define them if I were writing some front-end.
