Script for finding valid commits on a git branch.

hcheck.sh

#!/bin/bash
#
# History checking script
#
# This script checks out each commit that
# exists on a dev_branch but not a base_branch.
# "ant clean tools" is run on that branch,
# and a log file is written with the results
# of the build to
# <log_dir>/<PASSED/FAILED><commit hash><commit message>.log
# depending on if the build passed or failed.
#
# Inputs:
# base_branch - the branch whose commits should not be checked
# dev_branch - the branch with commits to check
# log_dir - where to write the logs
# path to bioformats - where bioformats was checked out
