Re: check if a commit is ascendent of a specific commit

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).
