Subject: How to find the first commit belonging to any branch
Date: Tue, 22 Jul 2008 11:08:47 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4885A39F.5080209@trolltech.com> (raw)
Hi all!
I have a question about git: I have one commit sha1, and I would like to
know the nearest commit that appears in *any* other branch. The sha1
that I have does not belong to any branch.
The obvious thing to do would be to make a for loop and iterate over
existing branches while calling git merge-base, but I'm wondering if
there's a more clever method.
Regards
Kristian Amlie
