Thanks. This is actually does provide some value. The downside is if I merge to my build branch or my dev branches from master (production code) it brings all those commit with it that are already in prod but unrelated to the work so it is messy. I need to parse that in some way so I only have the relevant merges for the current development and builds. Thanks for a pointer on this
