How can I find which commits entered a certain

(especially the -wmfX ones). Are there any tags in the repository or
is there a page that holds that information?
Gerrit lists remote branches for -wmf:
| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$ git branch -r | fgrep wmf/1.23
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf1
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf2
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf3
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf4
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf5
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf6
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf7
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf8
| gerrit/wmf/1.23wmf9
| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$
For the other way (you have a commit and want to know where
it's coming from), in the general case, Git has a neat fea-
ture: "git describe --tags" will traverse the tree upwards
and produce an identifier with the SHA1, the "nearest" tag
and the number of steps between; however, with current mas-
ter:
| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$ git describe --tags
| 1.6.0-44845-g1e5e4d9
| [tim@passepartout ~/public_html/w]$
So Git had to travel 44845 nodes to find a tag -- which is
useless :-).
