Subject: Shortest path between commits
Message-ID: <20060208160308.GB3484@linux-mips.org>

I wonder if there some way to find the shortest path between two commits?
That is if there is a merge between the two commits I only want the merge
commit itself, not the potencially large list of commits that were merged.

I need that for commit notification scripts; I don't want to spam users
with too many emails and aggregating everything that came through a single
merge would be a reaonsable approach.
