+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+
+List commits that are reachable by following the `parent` links from the
+given commit(s), but exclude commits that are reachable from the one(s)
+given with a '{caret}' in front of them.  The output is given in reverse
+chronological order by default.
+
+You can think of this as a set operation.  Commits given on the command
+line form a set of commits that are reachable from any of them, and then
+commits reachable from any of the ones given with '{caret}' in front are
+subtracted from that set.  The remaining commits are what comes out in the
+command's output.  Various other options and paths parameters can be used
+to further limit the result.
+
+Thus, the following command:
+
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+	$ git rev-list foo bar ^baz
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+means "list all the commits which are reachable from 'foo' or 'bar', but
+not from '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
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+'rev-list' is a very essential Git command, 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'.
