Hi,

Is there a common name for the A..B range format (two dots) that would complement the A...B (three dots) symmetric range format's name?

I was looking at the --left-right distinctions and noticed that the trail back to the symmetric range description was rather thin (it's buried within gitrevisions:Specifying Ranges, and even then its called a symmetric difference.
