Hi,
I want to create "git-amend-commit" to be able to amend commits before
HEAD. So I need to check whether the commit I'm going to amend is
ascendent of HEAD. Is there any way to check that?

Ascendant is a word from astorology -- you mean ancestor ;-).

Or antecedent.

Sorry, there is no "or" here -- check our documentation ;-).
