[Mesa-dev] [PATCH 1/6] bin/get-extra-pick-list: use git merge-base to get the branchpoint

[Emil Velikov]

From: Emil Velikov <emil.velikov at collabora.com>

Since mesa development history is linear and the only diversion is at
the branchpoint. Thus we can drop the ad-hoc parsing and use git
merge-base to retrieve it.
