Re: Getting a branch's time of creation

Great, that works -  it gives me the commit that Branch 1 was at at the time
of cloning.

One concern however. If I clone the repository, create Branch 2 to track
Branch 1, and in the mean while push changes to the master branch of the
repository, the commit that this command gives me changes (to the last
commit that was pushed). The repository I am cloning from is bare, so in
order to make changes to the master, I clone it again, make changes to the
master branch of the clone and push those back (of course, this clone also
has Branch 1 as a remote branch, but I am not making changes to it). What is
git doing? Why does it change the commit history of Branch 1 when I did not
push changes to it? 

Before pushing to master:
$git log --oneline $(git merge-base origin/jateeq.2010-03-16.15-32
origin/master)..origin/master
610cfae added file.xml

After pushing to master:
$git log --oneline $(git merge-base origin/jateeq.2010-03-16.15-32
origin/master)..origin/master
9070a4d removed fcc.xml


Thanks, 
Jawad
