Um, unfortunately, all the commits that are prior to HEAD count as being on the branch. Have you tried using 'gitk --all' to look through? You should be able to see the split point there.

Once you've found the commit, you can 'git diff COMMIT', or you can even, straight in gitk, (make sure you have your branch selected), right click on the commit and select 'diff this->selected'.

The same method should work for that as well.
Good luck, Tim.
