Description

My use case is that in a give repository, I am on branch X . There is a remote tracking branch origin/master.
Note : X is not tracking origin/master.

Now i want to do something like git log origin/master --first-parent. Today the only way to use CommitFilter is on repository.Commits() which will perform the operation on current working branch i.e. X. It would be good if Branch class's Commit() method return IQueryableCommitLog instead of ICommitLog.

Research direction

Start by inspecting Branch.Commit(), repository.Commits(), ICommitLog, and IQueryableCommitLog to understand the existing query APIs and how CommitFilter is applied. Check the related tests, then define completion as supporting filtered commit queries, including first-parent history, from an arbitrary branch such as origin/master rather than only the current working branch.
