+--left-right::
+
+       Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
+       Commits from the left side are prefixed with `<` and those from
+       the right with `>`.  If combined with `--boundary`, those
+       commits are prefixed with `-`.
++
+For example, if you have this topology:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+             y---b---b  branch B
+            / \ /
+           /   .
+          /   / \
+         o---x---a---a  branch A
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+you would get an output line this:
