How to implement git log <branch>..FETCH_HEAD in libgit2?

I need to present user a list of commits that are fetched, but not yet merged. This means finding wanted branch in FETCH_HEAD and showing git log <branch>..FETCH_HEAD. How to approach the last step in libgit2? I should stop git_revwalk* at first commit common to both <branch> and to the pseudo-branch created by the sha tip stored in FETCH_HEAD. Does this mean that I first need to load whole <branch> into memory? Or maybe there is other method of stopping git_revwalk* (that was started at FETCH_HEAD tip)?

It sounds like you want to show the commit id contained in FETCH_HEAD by git_revwalk_pushing it. Then you would git_revwalk_hide the commit id of the branch that you want to stop at.

This should revwalk only the range hide..show.
