Well, if ".." is set difference, why not "..." for symmetric set 
difference.

The operations really _are_ related.

Also, the parse syntax and logic really is the same, even if Rene's patch 
didn't take advantage of that.

That said, it does have a real downside, and that's simply that it can 
take a long time to compute.

Somebody should also verify that there are no interesting interaction with 
the fact that we end up traversing the commit lists twice (no object flag 
interactions etc) with the new "get_merge_bases()"
