This can be determined by looking at the gitk output. Also 'git merge-base' can give you that node, given the main branch and the topic branch. See documentation about git-merge-base. Then if you need to move a branch to another starting node, then 'git rebase' is what you need (again the git-rebase documentation is pretty detailed).
