I have been wondering for a while what I can do to make figuring this out
(in general) easier. Would adding the SHA1 of the head of each tree to
the Trees file help? I could publish all the branches in my linux-next
repo - but they change daily. I guess only the git users benefit from
those suggestions.

gitk can tell you pretty easily (just find the offending commit and work
your way upward until you find a merge by me).

Other suggestions?
