In Git there isn't such thing like "commits made on a specific branch".
Branches are simply references to DAG, and "on branch" means commits
reachable from branch tip (branch head).

Anyway, try `--ancestry-path` option (in git-log(1) manpage), which
make Git show only those commits that are on line joining rev2 to
rev1.  I guess it is what you really want.
