Subject: Shortest path between commits
Date: Wed, 8 Feb 2006 16:03:08 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20060208160308.GB3484@linux-mips.org> (raw)

I wonder if there some way to find the shortest path between two commits?
That is if there is a merge between the two commits I only want the merge
commit itself, not the potencially large list of commits that were merged.

I need that for commit notification scripts; I don't want to spam users
with too many emails and aggregating everything that came through a single
merge would be a reaonsable approach.
