Because "branch ownership" is obvously local, we have reflog, which is local and not propagated. Reflog uses the following format oldsha1 SP newsha1 SP committer TAB reason LF where reason might be "commit: " or "commit (amend): ", "am: " (applied mail patch), "reset --hard HEAD^" (dropped top commit), "branch: Created from origin^0", or "pull origin: In-index= =20 merge". We have not yet tools to examine reflog (e.g. change committer info with it's timestamp to human readable format) yet. --=20 Jakub Narebski Poland
