For example, if you have two branches, `A` and `B`, a usual way
to list all commits on only one side of them is with
-`--left-right`, like the example above in the description of
-that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
+`--left-right` (see the example below in the description of
+the `--left-right` option). It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked
from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are
excluded from the output.
+--left-only::
+--right-only::
+
+ List only commits on the respective side of a symmetric range,
+ i.e. only those which would be marked `<` resp. `>` by
+ `--left-right`.
++
+For example, `--cherry-pick --right-only A...B` omits those
+commits from `B` which are in `A` or are patch-equivalent to a commit in
+`A`. In other words, this lists the `{plus}` commits from `git cherry A B`.
+More precisely, `--cherry-pick --right-only --no-merges` gives the exact
+list.

+--cherry::
+
+ A synonym for `--right-only --cherry-mark --no-merges`; useful to
+ limit the output to the commits on our side and mark those that
+ have been applied to the other side of a forked history with
+ `git log --cherry upstream...mybranch`, similar to
+ `git cherry upstream mybranch`.
