Yes, that's exactly what I need too. I need to produce it
programatically. I notice gitk displays, for each commit,
the branches that include it. If I knew a command for
deriving that, I could iterate through HEAD, HEAD~1, HEAD~2...
until I see a remote branch.

How about:

  git name-rev --refs='refs/remotes/*' $COMMIT

Wow! That's clever.

Thanks,
