title: How can I see the git history of a deleted branch (used git flow)
body: <p>I used <a href="https://github.com/nvie/gitflow" rel="noreferrer">git flow</a> to create two branches with <code>git flow feature start &lt;feature name&gt;</code>.  I don't remember whether I finished by</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Using <code>git flow feature finish</code> on both branches,</li>
  <li>Merging branch <code>A</code> into branch <code>B</code>, deleted branch <code>A</code>, and then running <code>git flow feature finish</code> from branch <code>B</code>, or</li>
  <li>Merging branch <code>B</code> into <code>develop</code> with <code>git flow feature finish</code> and then merging branch <code>A</code> into <code>develop</code> with <code>git merge</code>, resolving the merge conflicts, and then deleting branch <code>A</code> with <code>git branch -d &lt;branch name&gt;</code></li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>Using <code>git reflog</code> the last trace of branch <code>A</code> I can find is <code>e553bf0</code> in the series:</p>
  
  <pre><code>e553bf0 HEAD@{40}: checkout: moving from feature/a to develop
  6b30050 HEAD@{41}: checkout: moving from develop to feature/a
  e553bf0 HEAD@{42}: checkout: moving from feature/a to develop
  6b30050 HEAD@{43}: checkout: moving from develop to feature/a
  e553bf0 HEAD@{44}: commit (merge): resolved merge conflicts
  7a0ad6b HEAD@{45}: checkout: moving from feature/a to develop
  6b30050 HEAD@{46}: checkout: moving from develop to feature/a
  7a0ad6b HEAD@{47}: merge feature/b: Merge made by the 'recursive' strategy.
  921ae46 HEAD@{48}: checkout: moving from feature/b to develop
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Also, <code>git log</code> shows</p>

      Merge branch 'feature/b' into develop
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The code from both features is currently in <code>develop</code>, but I don't know in order the merges happened.  Can someone tell me which of the three scenarios occurred based on the history?</p>
  
  <p>Edit:</p>
  
  <p>Output from <code>git log --oneline --graph develop</code>:</p>
