Hello,

I already wrote similar tests and I wonder if this couldn't be done in a new builtin command more effectively. Something like

	git rev-contains HEAD "$1"

. I expect it to be faster and maybe it prevents a command line overflow?! (I remember something like 32000 chars max in a command, but I could not trigger that with bash.)

Best regards Uwe
