Re: Testing if a certain commit is in the current branch

I'm currently using the following command for this:
   git log --pretty=format:%H | grep -q '^<commit id>"

Problem is that with large repos that can be quite slow.

Is there a faster way to do the test?

Not answering the question exactly, but "git branch --contains <commitid>"
does almost this and a bit more.
