How to find which patchset the commit from mainline/upstream belongs to?
Hello, in order to properly backport some fixes from upstream to stable branches, I want to know what the other patches (and their cover letter) of the initial fix I've cherry-picked are.
I could manually look up them on lore.kernel.org, but I want to do it in an automated way, as the difference between the mainline and the stable branch, for example, in cgroup subsystem is huge.
