Given a complex set of revision specifiers on the command line, it is too late to look at the flags of the objects in the initial traversal list at the beginning of limit_list() in order to determine what the objects the end-user explicitly listed on the command line were. The process to move objects from the pending array to the traversal list may have marked objects that are not mentioned as UNINTERESTING, when handle_commit() marked the parents of UNINTERESTING commits mentioned on the command line by calling mark_parents_uninteresting(). This made "rev-list --ancestry-path ^A ..." to mistakenly list commits that are descendants of A's parents but that are not descendants of A itself, as ^A from the command line causes A and its parents marked as UNINTERESTING before coming to limit_list(), and we try to enumerate the commits that are descendants of these commits that are UNINTERESTING before we start walking the history. It actually is too late even if we inspected the pending object array before calling prepare_revision_walk(), as some of the same objects might have been mentioned twice, once as positive and another time as negative. The "rev-list --some-option A --not --all" command may want to notice, even if the resulting set is empty, that the user showed some interest in "A" and do something special about it. Prepare a separate array to keep track of what syntactic element was used to cause each object to appear in the pending array from the command line, and populate it as setup_revisions() parses the command line.

GIT - the stupid content tracker
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
"git" can mean anything, depending on your mood.
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License.
It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of
hackers around the net. It is currently maintained by Junio C Hamano.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/everyday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-commandname.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with "man gittutorial" or "git help tutorial", and the
documentation of each command with "man git-commandname" or "git help
commandname".
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
("man gitcvs-migration" or "git help cvs-migration" if git is
installed).
Many Git online resources are accessible from http://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git
mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature
requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org. To subscribe
to the list, send an email with just "subscribe git" in the body to
majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=git and other archival sites.
The messages titled "A note from the maintainer", "What's in
git.git (stable)" and "What's cooking in git.git (topics)" and
the discussion following them on the mailing list give a good
reference for project status, development direction and
remaining tasks.
