Could be that Chapter 3 of Ullman's MMDS is what we need?
Or maybe a less sophisticated approach could be just checking if two commit messages are the same. Not perfect but useful (and it can be replaced with a more advanced method later on).
It is common, for "important" commits, to be back-ported to other branches; in particular, security fixes can be often found replicated across a number of branches, so this characteristic can be useful to find them.
