Description Szymon Brandys CLA 2012-04-19 09:14:02 EDT 
Now, to get git log between two commits we need to:
- have log URI for commit1 (commit1URI)
- do POST on commit1URI and send the commit2 id in the body to create a URI for commit1..commit2 log
- call this commit1..commit2 log URI

I think we could make it more handy by just using GET on commit1 with an extra parameter pointing at the other commit, e.g.
GET on commit1URI?otherCommitId=commit2Id

It would let us create URIs for such resources on the client side without an extra POST call. It would also help with bug 341540.
