When you merge branch A with branch B, you can then fast forward branch B to the merge commit. git merge even does this automatically. Such commits have 2 parents and 2 children. On both branches 'git log --first-parent' shows the same history before the merge. Is it true that in this case you can't filter commits by branch name in 'git log'? I'm thinking of using 'git merge --no-ff' since now. -- 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
