Listing the tips of branches in pu that are not in master
===========================================

Suppose you have two aliases defined like so:

[alias]
        oneline = !/usr/bin/xargs -L1 git log --decorate --max-count=1 --oneline
        tips = "!_() { t=$(git rev-list --no-merges --max-count=1
\"$@\"); if test -n \"$t\"; then echo $t; _ \"$@\" ^$t; fi; }; _"

Then:

git tips origin/pu ^origin/next | git oneline

might show something like this:

9dcca58 filter-branch.sh: de-dent usage string
704c335 On Cygwin support both UNIX and DOS style path-names
1c460f9 t3030: fix accidental success in symlink rename

b29d76f merge: mark the final "Merge made by..." message for l10n

which is a list of the tips of branches that are in pu, but not in next.
