Hello,

> +	if test -n "$(git rev-list $1..HEAD)"
I already wrote similar tests and I wonder if this couldn't be done in a
new builtin command more effectively.  Something like

	git rev-contains HEAD "$1"

.  I expect it to be faster and maybe it prevents a command line
overflow?!  (I remember something like 32000 chars max in a command, but
I could not trigger that with bash.)

Best regards
Uwe
