My "next" is a bad example of this, because it is an integration
branch and never gets its own development.  It is also a bad
example because I can answer that question with this command
line:

	git log --grep='^Merge .* into next$' next

and while it is a perfectly valid answer, I know it would leave
you feeling somewhat cheated.
