NAME

|
----
|
|
git-merge-base - Find as good common ancestors as possible for a merge
|
|
|
|
|
|
SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-merge-base' [--all] <commit> <commit>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
"git-merge-base" finds as good a common ancestor as possible between
|
|
the two commits. That is, given two commits A and B 'git-merge-base A
|
|
B' will output a commit which is reachable from both A and B through
|
|
the parent relationship.
|
|
|
|
Given a selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be
|
|
relied on to decide in any particular way.
|
|
|
|
The "git-merge-base" algorithm is still in flux - use the source...
|
|
|
|
OPTIONS
|
|
-------
|
|
--all::
|
|
Output all common ancestors for the two commits instead of
|
|
just one.
