How to find merges between two git commits?

Given two git commit hashes, how do you lookup the branch names of all associated merges in between those commits?

I'm trying to write a script to collect some statistics about which branches have been merged into a specified target branch between two given dates.

I know you can get a list of all branches merged into a target branch with a command like:

git branch --merged <target_branch>

but how do you limit it to a certain range of commits?

I think you just need to add the name of the branch of interest to @Andrew Miners answer. I've used something like the following to check for differences between two commits on the origin to generate release notes:

git fetch
git log --merges --first-parent --oneline origin 3c06b3544a9f86d3f0cbe57e0ef6dafda850945c..caf05bfb706ae958f73b8bbe997b0c431ffbdb9c

I think you want to use the git log command with the --merges flag. So, for example, if you want to find all the merges between release-1.0 and release-2.0, you'd say:

git log release-1.0..release-2.0 --merges
