I assume that commits c1 and c2 are not one ancestor of the other (are not in fast-forward relation). Translating your question into question about DAG of revisions, you want to check if there is branch for which both c1 and c2 are reachable from: c1sha=$(git rev-parse c1) c2sha=$(git rev-parse c2) git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/heads/ | while read refname do b1=$(git merge-base c1 $refname) b2=$(git merge-base c2 $refname) if [ "$b1" = "$c1sha" -a "$b2" = "$c2sha" ] then print ${refname#refs/heads/} fi done Instead of comparing git-merge-base with SHA-1 of c1 and c2 respoectively, you can count commits: git for-each-ref --format="%(refname)" refs/heads/ | while read refname do count1=$(git rev-list c1..$refname | wc -l) count2=$(git rev-list c2..$refname | wc -l) if [ "$count1" > 0 -a "$count2" > 0 ] then print ${refname#refs/heads/} fi done Not tested! -- Jakub Narebski Poland ShadeHawk on #git -- 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
