Determine orphaned branches that have been merged into another branch.

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

# Get a list of merged branches
#
# You need to checkout the target remote branch before running. In other words,
# if your target branch is 'master', you have to have it on your local hard disk
# before you run this script, otherwise you will get an error like: `fatal:
# malformed object name master`. Git needs to have the branch available locally
# with latest changes pulled in order to find the branches that have/have-not
# been merged into it.
