Is there any easy git way to figure out which release this commit got
into?

I guess git-describe, but I prefer clicking at the "raw" (X-Git-Tag):
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff_plain;h=f4c1f3e0c59be0e6566d9c00b1d8b204ffb861a2

I think I prefer the command line edition "git-describe".  But it seems  
that the two approaches gives a different results.
(Cc'ing the git mailing list as they might know the reason)

You want "git describe --contains". The default mode for describe is
"you are at tag $X, plus $N commits, and by the way, the sha1 is $H"
(shown as "$X-$N-g$H").

The default mode is useful for generating a unique semi-human-readable
version number (e.g., to be included in your builds).
