Ah. The rev-list man page entry on --ancestry-path only talks about using it with '..', so I didn't even try it with the symmetric diff operator ('...').

That said, seems it would be useful to have an easy way to get to the merge which has a merge-base as one of its parents. Maybe even a generic way to find all commits which have a particular parent. I think rev-list --parents | grep is the only way to do that today.

Thanks,
