Kind of.

[<git-rev-list-args>…] A list of arguments, acceptable to git rev-parse and git rev-list, that specifies the specific objects and references to export. For example, master~10..master causes the current master reference to be exported along with all objects added since its 10th ancestor commit.

But, yeah. Not very intuitive I agree.
