NAME
       git-merge-base - Find as good common ancestors as possible for a merge

SYNOPSIS
       git-merge-base [--all] <commit> <commit>

DESCRIPTION
       "git-merge-base" finds as good a common ancestor as possible between
       the two commits. That is, given two commits A and B git-merge-base A B
       will output a commit which is reachable from both A and B through the
       parent relationship.

       Given a selection of equally good common ancestors it should not be
       relied on to decide in any particular way.

       The "git-merge-base" algorithm is still in flux - use the source...

OPTIONS
       --all  Output all common ancestors for the two commits instead of just
	      one.
