How I can find on console in GIT hash of commit on which two branches bagan to differ?

Question

I have a branch foo and branch master

I want to find out when branch foo began to differ from master

I'm trying it with

git log origin/master..origin/foo

And then I look at the oldest commit

What is the better approach ?

thx, you're right, was not sure how to ask about it / search this term — astropanic, Jan 10 '12 at 12:21

What you want is most probably git merge-base.
