Using "git branch --no-merged" I can get a list of branches that I

listing tags that point to commits that aren't in my history?
I think something like this might do what you want:
git for-each-ref --format='%(refname)' refs/tags | \
while read t; do
if ! git merge-base --is-ancestor $t HEAD; then
echo ${t#refs/tags/}
fi
done
If you run that on the Git repository (assuming you've checked out
master), after a while (there are a lot of tags to check) it spits out
v1.4.4.5 (along with some complaints about *-gpg-pub tags that refer
to blobs).
And sure enough, `git log v1.4.4.5 ^master` shows 5 commits not
contained in master so I think it does what you want. You'll want to
restrict the for-each-ref output further, if possible, to make it
quicker.
