 $ git log maint --not v2.20.0^@

gives you commits that are reachable from (i.e. ancestors of) maint, excluding those that are reachable from the set of commits denoted by v2.20.0^@.

v2.20.0^@ is how you spell the set of commits that are parents of the commit v2.20.0.

If your "range" is simple and "old" is a single-parent commit,

 $ git log <old>~1..<new>

is equivalent, because <old>~1 (i.e. the first parent of commit <old>) would be the same as <old>^@ for a single-parent commit, and because the short-hand "git log A..B" is the same as the long-hand "git log B --not A".
