What makes you say rev-list does not work (perhaps 'really' is the
key word there?)

    git rev-list --no-merges maint..master -- Makefile
    git shortlog --no-merges maint..master -- Makefile
    git log --oneline --no-merges maint..master -- Makefile

all gives me results that are consistent among them.
