Is there a way to get the commit ID of a patch that was cherry picked (or via a manually applied patch)? I'm trying to get an equivalent to git branch --contains, but instead of comparing the commit ID, it compares patch IDs so it works for cherry picks and manual patches. It seems like git cherry almost does what I want, but it only seems to show the commit ID of the commit on the other branch rather than the branch I specify to git cherry. I may just be using git cherry incorrectly though. For example, commit 3642151 on branch A was a cherry pick of a commit 460050c on master: $ git branch -a --contains 3642151 A $ git branch -a --contains 460050c * master $ git cherry -v master 3642151 - 3642151435ce5737debc1213de46dd556475bfad1 fixed bug I assume that means an equivalent change to 3642151 is already in master (which it is, as commit 460050c). But I want to find out the commit ID on master that's equivalent to 3642151 (i.e. something that tells me it's 460050c). I'm basically looking for something like git branch --contains, but that searches by patch ID so it can find cherry picked or manually applied patches: $ git branch -a --contains-equivalent 3642151 * master (via commit 460050c) A (via commit 3642151) Is there a way to do that? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
