Upstream refs:

Construct list of upstream revs to search:
    git rev-list --min-parents=1 --no-walk \

Retrieve minimal list of revs to check with merge-base by excluding
revisions that are in the reachable from others in the list:

Running merge-base against each found upstream revision and target
    git merge-base hp/prerelease/mitaka ${upstream_rev}

Order the possible merge-base commits in descendent order, to
find the most recent one used irrespective of date:
    git rev-list --topo-order --max-count=1 --no-walk \
        0bc12bc4b3dd22cb1bcd34c3ff54225f14abe491

    Find better import merge commit candidate

    Continue checking until the last possible candidate has been inspected
    in case we encountered a merge commit that looks a lot like an import
    merge commit does.

    It is possible for a merge to occur where the commit brought in does
    not contribute anything to the resulting tree. In such cases the merge
    commit will appear TREESAME to the previous state of the branch, and
    will be mistaken to be an import merge. Ensure if there is an
    additional merge commit to be considered that it is also checked.

    Handle non contributing merges where no import

    Catch a non-contributing merge of a commit where it's parent is within
    the ancestry path to the previous upstream imported.

    Add it to a list of commits to be stripped to ensure when encountered
    it is removed from being attempted to be re-played.

    Handle multiple non-contributing commits being merged

    When encountering multiple non-contributing commits included in a merge
    that is TREESAME to the existing contents, ensure a list of all commits
    being brought in by that merge are included in the list to be pruned
    from history.
