+   "ambiguous argument".  This error is now accompanied by hints that
+   lists the objects that begins with the given prefix.  During the
+   course of development of this new feature, numerous minor bugs were
+   uncovered and corrected, the most notable one of which is that we

+ * "git log rev^..rev" is an often-used revision range specification

+   "^rev^$n rev", i.e. what has happened on other branches while the
+   history leading to nth parent was looking the other way.
