Hi folks,

suppose the following situation:

I've forked some branch A into B, now A and B have evolved independently for quite some time into A' and B'. Now I'd like to rebase B' along A' history line step by step - first on A+1, then A+3, ... until A' (that's what I'd call zip-rebase).

For this I need to find out the successor commit A (along the A' history line). Does anyone know how to do that ?
