It would be nice if there was a way in the GitPython API to do the following native git command:

git merge-base <commit 1> <commit 2>

For example, it would be nice to be able to perform the following:

from git import *

repo = Repo('/path/to/repo')
base = repo.find_last_common_ancestor('de1f33', '78dd34')
print(base)

The expected output, assuming the least common ancestor of 'de1f33' and '78dd34' was '6ff871', (obviously all of these commits have fictional SHAs) would be:

<git.Commit "6ff871652e0f3b9fa991bbd9b42e520f91723436e">
