git show 3642151 | git patch-id

You should get a line with two hashes; the first is the patchid (call it PATCHID_FROM_ABOVE)

git log -p | git patch-id | grep PATCHID_FROM_ABOVE

This should give you a list of all commits that correspond to that patchid.

Note that if there were conflicts when applying the patch, the patchid probably changed.

Have fun,
