I ran into a situation where I needed to verify whether a feature branch (J27910_fix) had already been included in a release branch (2616).
At first glance, the history looked messy — multiple merges, unrelated commits, and overlapping changes from other tickets. This made it unclear whether my work (tagged with J27910) had already been merged or if I needed to cherry-pick it manually.
Instead of guessing or risking duplicate changes, I decided to validate it properly using Git.
