Links / references
Documentation blurb
Overview
git merge-base is a useful tool for finding a common ancestor between branches
Use cases
The team I work with is currently running a local mirror of a GitLab repo so that they can run "git merge-base" and get the results for their toolchain. I would like them to just use the web api to get this information, but such an API does not exist and maintaining a local mirror for them is tech debt that I do not want
