I am currently using git rev-parse in the gitk dev branch to determine what starting commits git log will use, so that when the user does an update, I can construct a git log command that will stop when it gets to any of those previous starting points. That way the second git log will only give me new stuff that has been added since the first git log. Can you suggest an efficient way to do that that doesn't use git rev-parse?
