This one looks interesting, as we can see both 03dd551f03 (merge base) and 9ba8f06829 (your initial "surprising" commit) in there. By the looks of that graph only, it seems clear that 9ba8f06829 does not belong to "branchA" (its graph ending with merge base commit) -- but, that may be true considering "branchA", "branchB" and the merge base commit 03dd551f03 _only_. Do you have other branches in your repository, where some of them are/were merged to/with these two branches we`re looking at? If so, that might explain the situation further. But even if not, I`m thinking if Git`s *"history simplification"* <https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#_history_simplification>[1] could be the the culprit here...? Could you try your initial commands again, but adding "--sparse" and "--full-history" to them as well? I`m not sure if there are any other "do not simplify history" switches. So if you could try running something like this (note %h changed to %H as well): (*1*) $ git log --format=%H --sparse --full-history branchA..branchB | grep 9ba8f06829b2d2170f23254ed3fe8f3727fe56dc (*2*) $ git log --format=%H --sparse --full-history branchA | grep 9ba8f06829b2d2170f23254ed3fe8f3727fe56dc (*3*) $ git log --format=%H --sparse --full-history branchB | grep 9ba8f06829b2d2170f23254ed3fe8f3727fe56dc https://gist.github.com/cmurphycode/114c869323d6d161fd77aa924e769bcd > > Here's what the branches point to as of right now, just to be sure :) > > ± % git show-ref branchA > c7770ea9a062d189dc2e3238bdd6f5987d86e1cb refs/heads/branchA > > ± % git show-ref branchB > 944405f8308c77200f7f4cb860a3f95a7a8ba6dd refs/heads/branchB > > Thanks for your patience, I appreciate the help! > No problem, I`m not sure how much helpful I`ll prove to be in the end, but I do find the case interesting, learning something new myself :) [1] https://git-scm.com/docs/git-log#_history_simplification Regards, Buga -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
