Some time ago I derived a branch A from another branch X, and forgot what was X. Since that I made a few changes, including merging master into A, pushed it, etc. Now, how do I find out where I started from, what is X? I tried git log --graph, but due to the massive number of branches contributing to master that was merged into A, it's hard to tell where A started from.

The reflog entry showing the creation of the branch has useful information, provided it has not expired. – torek Mar 10 '21 at 06:33
