SYNOPSIS
--------
+[verse]
'git merge-base' [-a|--all] [--octopus] <commit> <commit>...
+'git merge-base' --independent <commit>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
in preparation for an n-way merge. This mimics the behavior
of 'git show-branch --merge-base'.
+--independent::
+ Instead of printing merge bases, print a minimal subset of
+ the supplied commits with the same ancestors. In other words,
+ among the commits given, list those which cannot be reached
+ from any other. This mimics the behavior of 'git show-branch
+ --independent'.
