FWIW, the flow of this version makes more sense to me. It also allows
things like:

  git rev-list --objects $blob..$tree

which I cannot see anybody actually wanting, but it somehow seems
simpler to me to say "A..B" is syntactic sugar for "^B A", without
qualifying "except that A and B must be commit-ishes".
