Re: logging disjoint sets of commits in a single command

This command line is _defined_ to be the same as this.

Hence,

the answer to the second question is "no, that is not a fix but is a breakage for the *current* Git users".

The answer to the first question is that you may be able to do something like this:

        (
            git rev-list 373af0c^..373af0c
            git rev-list 590dfe2^..590dfe2
        ) |
        sort -u |
        xargs git show

Having said all that, for users of Git 2.0, giving richer meaning to the explicit range notation to make your original command line work just like the above scripted way would be more intuitive. While an unconditional change to break the current users would totally be unacceptable, we would want to see somebody come up with a clean migration path toward that goal without hurting existing users in the longer term.
