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? --

You can only amend topmost commit in any branch. Anything else would be rewriting history, starting from amended commit upwards in lineage (parentage). -- Jakub Narebski Warsaw, Poland ShadeHawk on #git
