Unfortunately, these are now all mixed up with a load of other commits that have been merged into both from the upstream project. Is there any way that I can get the list of commits that represent the difference between the two branches? Even better is there some way that I can apply all those commits to a third branch (a newer version of the project) without having to do hundreds of cherry-picks? Thanks! ``` ## Junio C Hamano, 2012-03-05 17:38 Subject: Re: Comparing commits on two different branches Message-ID: <7vr4x70wz3.fsf@alter.siamese.dyndns.org> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/7vr4x70wz3.fsf%40alter.siamese.dyndns.org In-Reply-To: ``` Howard Miller writes: > I have two branches - I know that one differs from the other entirely > by a (large) number of commits that I have made over some time. > Unfortunately, these are now all mixed up with a load of other commits > that have been merged into both from the upstream project. "now all mixed up" makes me feel a lot less optimistic, but have you tried git-cherry? ```
