You have to tell the other guy in your cover letter section. You can try to guess if the index information is accurate by grepping around a log output looking for that blob sha-1 and then finding what branch that's in. Its not pretty.

IIRC other DVCS systems include the ancestor identity in their patch output. Git doesn't bother, because in a multi-patch series the 2nd (and subsequent) patches would have useless id information.
