If you want the earliest point on that branch, why 'parents'? Seem like you
want log -r 'min(branch(pretty))'

A bookmark refers to a single revision, 5 in this case, so this is just
parents(5) which is 4.

The hard part to me is identifying the stuff that is *not* on your branch.
If you just pulled something, you could probably get away with log -r
'min(pretty % tip)', but that seems kinda brittle. What I would personally
do is rely on phases to remember what I haven't pushed, so I would use
something like log -r 'min(ancestors(pretty) and not public())'.
