I think the option you are looking for is "--merged", which currently only the "branch" command nows about. So right now you can do: git branch --merged devel to get a list of branches that are contained in "devel". There is work underway to unify the selection/filter code for git-branch and git-tag, so in a future version of git you should be able to do "git tag --merged" to get the tags that are "merged" to a particular branch. -Peff PS I'm not sure if we should pick a more generic name than "--merged" when git-tag learns this feature. For branches, it makes sense to ask "which branches are merged to this other branch". But the operation is really "which items are ancestors of the commit I gave". It is the opposite of "--contains" in that sense. Sort of a "--contained-in". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
