Seems so:

$ git describe 9f2b6d2936a7c4bb3155de8efec7b10869ca935e v1.6.0-3-g9f2b6d2

$ git merge-base 9f2b6d2936a7c4bb3155de8efec7b10869ca935e v1.6.0.3 result: dba9194a49452b5f093b96872e19c91b50e526aa

$ git describe dba9194a49452b5f093b96872e19c91b50e526aa v1.6.0-1-gdba9194

Which means it's not in; -forest also verifies it:
