I'd prefer not to add clutter into show-branch. I use it on a regular basis to see what I've added to what topic branch recently, and to look at branches before rebasing. It also just seems like the wrong place to have that kind of data, although I guess it's more useful for people who do merges more often than I do.

What about a "git reflog [<branch>]" command instead? Would show output similar to "git log" (or "git show-branch" for brevity).
