Subject: [RFE] option for find branches in a remote repo which contain a certain commit

Given a certain commit, I want there's a command/option for git to
make it search the remote repo (e.g. origin) and tell me the
branches there which contain that commit.

So that I can pick the wanted branch and fetch it afterward.

The reason I need this is that there are hundreds of (could be more)
branches, but I just need a few of them, and don't want to fetch all
other branches.

I guess this could be an option for git-remote, so that with a given
remote and commit, it returns a list of branches (or even tags).
The list size might default to a number and should be customizable.

Thanks
