I guess "unnamed branch from > > 703266f6e4" is probably good enough but my old-timer brain screams no. > > Perhaps "* (On an unnamed branch, at 703266f6e4)"? This 703266f6e4 is the fork point. Once you start adding more commits on top of this unnamed branch, I find it hard to define it "at" 703266f6e4 anymore. "forked from 703266f6e4" (or even starting/growing from...) is probably clearest but also a bit longer. -- Duy
