I guess that merge-base is probably faster or easier to use, but did you
consider using git branch --contains?

e.g. checking if selected branch is in
git branch --contains ud.revisions[name]

I'm asking only because I'm using "git branch --contains" in some
scripts and maybe there is good reason I should rewrite them to use git
merge-base instead.

Thanks
