Yes, I can confirm that I'm hard at work breaking this. :-) I'm trying out a way to get around the performance bug Catalin found, but I didn't have time to finish it yesterday.

If that work is included, you could simply find the top patch by doing git-show-ref and figuring out which patch has the same sha1 as HEAD.

But it sucks that stg starts so slowly. It has gotten better, I believe (I think Catalin did some work here?), but 150 ms doesn't really qualify as "instantaneous".
