Another question is whether anyone has any advice on the best way to find out the "best" branch an arbitrary commit is on. Where best can be flexibly definied to handle commits that are reachable from multiple branches. I have hacked a solution involving git-log and grep, but it performs quite poorly. I was wondering if there is a better solution.
'git describe' does this. Avery
