Understanding old git branches

This technical article explains how to examine an outdated Git branch that has significantly diverged from the main codebase. It details using `git merge-base` and the triple-dot (`...`) syntax with `git diff` to see only the changes made on the old branch. It also clarifies the crucial difference in how `git log` interprets two-dot (`..`) and three-dot range notation for filtering commit history.
