Subject: Testing if a certain commit is in the current branch
Message-ID: <201001270819.39819.elendil@planet.nl>

I'm currently using the following command for this:
   git log --pretty=format:%H | grep -q '^<commit id>"

Problem is that with large repos that can be quite slow.

Is there a faster way to do the test?

TIA,
FJP
