git compare commit ID between branches

Question

I need to find the different between two branches by commit ID, not by files. I mean, the commits which are not in one branch. How can I do it.

I fires, git diff branch1...branch2, but, it gave the files different, I need commit ID differences.

`..` and `...` have different meanings in `git log` and `git diff` - the diagrams [in this answer](http://stackoverflow.com/a/5257065/223092) may make that clearer, if you excuse me plugging one of my answers... — Mark Longair, Feb 08 '12 at 13:47

Try this

git log branch1...branch2

And optionally, we can give inner module[directory] of the project.

For example, want compare the commits in the module/admin directory, you can try like this.

git log branch1...branch2 module/admin
