+ Limit the displayed commits to those directly on the ancestry

+As an example use case, consider the following commit history:

+A regular 'D..M' computes the set of commits that are ancestors of `M`,
+but excludes the ones that are ancestors of `D`. This is useful to see
+what happened to the history leading to `M` since `D`, in the sense
+that "what does `M` have that did not exist in `D`". The result in this
+example would be all the commits, except `A` and `B` (and `D` itself,
+of course).
++
+When we want to find out what commits in `M` are contaminated with the
+bug introduced by `D` and need fixing, however, we might want to view
+only the subset of 'D..M' that are actually descendants of `D`, i.e.
+excluding `C` and `K`. This is exactly what the '\--ancestry-path'
+option does. Applied to the 'D..M' range, it results in:

The '\--simplify-by-decoration' option allows you to view only the
big picture of the topology of the history, by omitting commits
that are not referenced by tags. Commits are marked as !TREESAME
