How to find all refs that contain a commit in their history in git

Lets assume you have the following structure in git

    A <-- refs/heads/somebranch
    |
    B 
    | \
    C  D <-- refs/tags/TAG1
    |  |
    E  F
    |  | \
    G  H  I <-- refs/heads/branch1                
    |
    J <-- refs/heads/master

Now I want to find all refs that contain commit B in their history.

So it would be nice if I could do

$ git refs --contains B
refs/tags/TAG1
refs/heads/branch1
refs/heads/master

I took a look at the git decumentation and found git branch -a --contains <commit_id> which lists all branches that contain a commit_id.

$ git branch -a --contains 4af9822
  master
  remotes/origin/someBranch
  ...

and I found the command git tag --contains 9338f2d

$ git tag --contains 9338f2d
  someTag
  anotherTag
  ...

Of course I can do something like this,

$ git branch -a --contains 4af9822 && git tag --contains 9338f2d

but is there a command that prints all refs at once?

Solution

To add to torek's answer, git 2.7 (Q4 2015) will offer a more complete version of git for-each-ref, which now support the --contains

git for-each-ref --contains <SHA1>

See commit 4a71109, commit ee2bd06, commit f266c91, commit 9d306b5, commit 7c32834, commit 35257aa, commit 5afcb90, commit d325406, commit 6841104, commit b2172fd, commit b2172fd, ..., commit b2172fd (07 Jul 2015), and commit af83baf (09 Jul 2015) by Karthik Nayak (KarthikNayak).

Some features from "git tag -l" and "git branch -l" have been made available to "git for-each-ref" so that eventually the unified implementation can be shared across all three, in a follow-up series or two.

* kn/for-each-tag-branch:
  for-each-ref: add '--contains' option
  ref-filter: implement '--contains' option
  parse-options.h: add macros for '--contains' option
  parse-option: rename parse_opt_with_commit()
  for-each-ref: add '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
  ref-filter: implement '--merged' and '--no-merged' options
  ref-filter: add parse_opt_merge_filter()
  for-each-ref: add '--points-at' option
  ref-filter: implement '--points-at' option

Note that starting Git 2.13 (Q2 2017), git for-each-ref --no-contains <SHA1> is finally supported!
