Unfortunatly you are right with the "(which must..." part. Even
without the ^@. Normally gives the right answer, but it is not
sure that the first commit boundary is the correct one. For
example:
o--C
/
A--x--y--B--o--z
\ /
o----o
A, B, C are upstream@{n}
It involves a merge with a branch forked before the fork commit
for the current branch, and it will not work neither with git
pull --rebase. We could say that it is not supported, but
nevertheless it gives the wrong answer.
The right answer is B, but:
$ git rev-list --boundary z --not C B A
z
o
o
o
-x
-B
in this case we could take the boundaries commits and filter the
commits that are ancestor of some other boundary commit, and
would get B (git show-branch --independent x B -> B).
Here it is a test case to see the above.
rm -rf test
mkdir test
cd test
git init
echo A > file
git add .
git commit -mA
git tag A
echo o > file
git commit -a -mo
git tag fork1
echo z > file
git commit -a -mz
git tag fork2
echo B > file
git commit -a -mB
git tag B
git checkout -b topic fork1
echo oo > filetopic
git add .
git commit -moo
echo ooo > filetopic
git commit -a -mooo
git checkout master
git merge topic
echo c > file
git commit -a -mc
git checkout -b upstream fork2
echo o > fileupstream
git add .
git commit -a -mo5
echo C > fileupstream
git commit -a -mo
git tag C
git rev-list --boundary master --not C B A
echo answer: $(git rev-parse B^{})
HTH,
