git-merge-base - Finds as good a common ancestor as possible for a merge

|

SYNOPSIS
|
|
--------
|
|
'git-merge-base' <commit> <commit>
|
|
|
|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
-----------
|
|
"git-merge-base" finds as good a common ancestor as possible. Given a
|
|
selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be relied on
|
|
to decide in any particular way.
|
|
|
|
The "git-merge-base" algorithm is still in flux - use the source...
