Git - how to find first commit of specific branch

In following example tree:

A-B-C-D-E (master branch)
    \
     F-G-H (xxx branch)

I'm looking for F - the first commit in xxx branch. I think that it is possible with:

git log xxx --not master

and the last listed commit should be F. Is it correct solution or maybe there are some disadvantages of it?

I know that there were similar questions on stackoverflow, but nobody proposed such solution, and I'm not sure if I do it right.
