You haven't *really* explained what you want to do here, but that
doesn't really effect the answer to your actual question...

For this I need to find out the successor commit A (along the A'
history line). Does anyone know how to do that ?

git rev-list --first-parent --reverse $(git merge-base A B)..A

Have fun,
