Can you explain this ?

  "A..B" here just means the closest common ancestor of A and B, which could be branches or arbitrary commits. You might use this if you have a branch from someone else and you just want to know how long ago it diverged from your own branch. Or you might rewind to the common ancestor of two temporary branches before doing something like squashing the commits from each branch onto the ancestor, one after the other.

    Awesome. Thanks for explaining. That does sound very useful.

    It is A...B, BTW.
