Hello, > + if test -n "$(git rev-list $1..HEAD)" I already wrote similar tests and I wonder if this couldn't be done in a new builtin command more effectively. Something like git rev-contains HEAD "$1" . I expect it to be faster and maybe it prevents a command line overflow?! (I remember something like 32000 chars max in a command, but I could not trigger that with bash.)
