So, in other words, you want the list of descendants of the given release tag say v1.7.3-rc1, contained in a give branch, say "master": $ git rev-list --parents v1.7.3-rc1..master | grep $(git rev-parse v1.7.3-rc1^{}) 5418d96ddca8134b5abeb99430f61c062d91f722 3b3a8ed4beadf5d9437597108355b23c7143bc81 But note that it may not be unique and may change over time. In particular if you have more commits on top of the tag and merge again.
