Subject: Find successor of common ancestor
Date: Fri, 16 Jul 2010 10:29:37 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100716082937.GA22894@nibiru.local> (raw)


Hi folks,


suppose the following situation:

I've forked some branch A into B, now A and B have evolved 
independently for quite some time into A' and B'. Now I'd like
to rebase B' along A' history line step by step - first on A+1, 
then A+3, ... until A' (that's what I'd call zip-rebase).

For this I need to find out the successor commit A (along the A'
history line). Does anyone know how to do that ?
