Anyone know how to test if mybranch-working, a local branch, is a direct descendant of an origin/staging branch. In other words, I would like to test if another developer has merged there changes into origin/staging since I last merged from origin/staging into mybranch-working.

You can use the 'double-dot' syntax:
git log mybranch-working..origin/staging
This shows you all commits that are in origin/staging but are not in mybranch-working.
This command is a shorthand for:
git log ^mybranch-working origin/staging
In fact you can specify more than two references. An alternative to ^ is --not:
git log master ^topicA --not topicB

1Thanks. I think I like "git whatchanged mybranch-working..origin/staging" a bit better. – Jon Boehm Sep 21 '12 at 00:53
