function parse_git_branch {
  git branch 2> /dev/null | sed -e '/^[^*]/d' -e 's/* \(.*\)/\1/'
}

function gbin {
  echo -e "Branch ($1) has these commits and ($(parse_git_branch)) does not: \n"
  git log ..$1 --no-merges --format='%h | Author: %an | %ad | %s' --date=local
}

function gbout {
  echo -e "Branch ($(parse_git_branch)) has these commits and ($1) does not: \n"
  git log $1.. --no-merges --format='%h | Author: %an | %ad | %s' --date=local
}

## Now use in any branch $ gbout master to see what's in this branch but is not
## in master, and vice versa
