I disagree, the main purpose of this command is equivalent to 'git rev-list':
[acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$ git rev-list HEAD^^.. 089242a8c826aac1c827bb797475b9852fe0db49 18e3a75dc47d8397bbf0936ec8e3ebdecada7ba1 [acme@doppio linux-2.6-tip]$
I.e. provide content keys that then will be used by distro specific porcelain to get the matching -debuginfo packages with the symtabs.
