List commits between 2 commit hashes in git

List commits between 2 commit hashes in git

I know there has been very similar questions here, but they didn't solve
my problem. Perhaps there's something I'm not understanding well.
This is a portion of the commit history of fitnesse
(https://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse/):
* | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | fa86be8 Avoid possible issue when using
CachingPage under heavy memory load.

specific exception message.

exceptions. Fix for unclebob/fitnesse#250
I want the list of commits between 2 commit hashes. In this particular
case, I want the commits between ecf5891 and 7b4a07a, and I expect the
result to be:
ecf5891
7b4a07a
Si far I've been using git rev-list
commit_hash_from_here^..commit_hash_up_to_here and it has worked fine with
linear history. However, in this case I get a lot more commits.
I've tried this and it works just as expected:
git log --since='<date ecf5891>' --until='<date 7b4a07a>'
(I've manually searched for those 2 dates).
One possible solution is to get the 2 dates and just do that, but I think
there should be a better way.
