Hi,

At the beginning I'm sorry if this post is completely unrelated to this mailing list. I'm trying to find the base linux kernel version from which a patch has been created and posted to LKML. Most patches contain the index line. Is it the well known git index (staging area) ? Can I use the index to find the exact kernel version from which a patch was created. Please look at an example patch sent to LKML: https://lkml.org/lkml/2015/5/14/497

It contains the following index line: index 8dd1e55..9b0c81e 100644

I tried to find it using "git log" but I couldn't.
Please help me to determine the exact kernel version.
thanks in advance
