Dear community,

For some time I'm wondering why there's no "--grep" option to the "git branch" command, which would request to print only branches having specified string/regexp in their history.

So for example:

    $ git branch -r --grep=BUG12345

should be roughly equivalent to following expression I'm using now for the same task:

    $ for r in `git rev-list --grep=BUG12345 --remotes=origin`; do git branch -r --list --contains=$r 'origin/*'; done | sort -u

Am I missing something, is there some smarter/simpler way to do this?

Thanks a lot in advance!
