Jan "jast" Krüger pointed out on #git that git log $(git merge-base --all A B) is exactly the set of commits reachable from both A and B; so there's your intersection operator :-) So it would seem that a much simpler approach is git rev-list $(git merge-base --all master $positive) --not $negative avoiding the boundary handling and special-case. It relies on the (weird?) property that $(git merge-base --all A B1 B2 ...) shows the merge bases of A with a hypothetical merge of B1, B2, ..., which is just what you need here. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- 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
