I am learning how to use git. I would like to know how: Given a branch's designation, such as "master~4", how can I see the message I furnished when I created the branch using "git commit"? Conversely, given the message I furnished to "git commit", when I created a branch, how can I see the branch's designation? Context: Operating System: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Workstation release 6.8 git version: 1.7.1 Thank you, very much.
