|

SYNOPSIS
|
||||
--------
|
||||
'git-merge-base' <commit> <commit>
|
||||
'git-merge-base' [--all] <commit> <commit>
|
||||
|
||||
DESCRIPTION
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
"git-merge-base" finds as good a common ancestor as possible. Given a
|
||||
selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be relied on
|
||||
to decide in any particular way.
|
||||
|
||||
"git-merge-base" finds as good a common ancestor as possible between
|
||||
the two commits. That is, given two commits A and B 'git-merge-base A
|
||||
B' will output a commit which is reachable from both A and B through
|
||||
the parent relationship.
|
||||
|
||||
Given a selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be
|
||||
relied on to decide in any particular way.
|
||||
|
||||
The "git-merge-base" algorithm is still in flux - use the source...
|
||||
|
||||
OPTIONS
|
||||
-------
|
||||
--all::
|
||||
Output all common ancestors for the two commits instead of
|
||||
just one.
