I tried to use the following command: git log --branches=*/master rev1..rev2 But the result is not what I expected: i see sommits that were made on an other branch and were not merged to master. Could you please tell me what I am doing wrong? Thanks in advance, Ákos Tajti ``` ## Jakub Narebski, 2011-07-26 11:46 Subject: Re: listing changesets on a branch Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/m38vrls1sy.fsf%40localhost.localdomain In-Reply-To: <4E2E9676.5000307@intland.com> ``` Tajti Ákos writes: > I'd like to list the changesets between two commit ids, but only > those, that were committed on a specific branch.

Could you please tell > me what I am doing wrong? In Git there isn't such thing like "commits made on a specific branch". Branches are simply references to DAG, and "on branch" means commits reachable from branch tip (branch head). Anyway, try `--ancestry-path` option (in git-log(1) manpage), which make Git show only those commits that are on line joining rev2 to rev1. I guess it is what you really want.
