$ git-rev-list --topo-order --after="Apr 10" --before="Apr 11" HEAD |wc
     14      14     574
$ git-rev-list --topo-order --boundary --after="Apr 10" --before="Apr
11" HEAD |wc

Boundary revisions in this case are _not_ passed through search filtering. Using --boundary option we get revisions ouside given filter range.

This does not apply to our previous example. So at least --boundary behaviour it's a little bit inconsistent at the moment.
