Hello Scott!

Nice book, I just started reading it and I have a recommendation to
make, at "Chapter 4: Git Treeishes" you write

---------
http://book.git-scm.com/4_git_treeishes.html
Range

Finally, you can specify a range of commits with the range spec. This
will give you all the commits between 7b593b5 and 51bea1 (where 51bea1
is most recent), excluding 7b593b5 but including 51bea1:

7b593b5..51bea1

This will include every commit since 7b593b:

7b593b..
---------

This in not quite correct. "commits between A and B" cannot really
apply here. I believe that "commits reachable from B and not from A"
is more precise. Actually you are already using the "reachability"
explanation at the start of "Chapter 3: Basic usage".

This issue is also described at the rev-parse man page.

Apart from that, you could also include "a...b" syntax for completeness.
