Thanks, that looks like a really useful command.
Unfortunately, in this case it didn't print anything out (neither did
"git branch -r -a sha1").
What I'm beginning to suspect is that all the commits that should have
gone to master went to some unnamed branch.
Is that reasonable/possible/likely? This commit has a full ancestry,
but doesn't appear to be on any branch.
In the above question there's an assumption that if a branch exists
without a name, then git branch -a --contains wouldn't print anything
out, is that correct?
Thanks,
Kelly
