You are right. Commits do not remember the branch name they were committed on. (Unlike subversion and mercurial) You can sometimes guess it from the log. For example, when a commit is merged in the current branch, you sometimes see 'merged branch 'the_branch' into master'. Then you know the commit was done in branch 'the_branch'. > > Brian > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
