For example, commit 3642151 on branch A was a cherry pick of a commit
460050c on master:

$ git branch -a --contains 3642151
 A

$ git branch -a --contains 460050c
* master

$ git cherry -v master 3642151
- 3642151435ce5737debc1213de46dd556475bfad1 fixed bug

I assume that means an equivalent change to 3642151 is already in
master (which it is, as commit 460050c). But I want to find out the
commit ID on master that's equivalent to 3642151 (i.e. something that
tells me it's 460050c).

git show 3642151 | git patch-id

You should get a line with two hashes; the first is the patchid (call
it PATCHID_FROM_ABOVE)

git log -p | git patch-id | grep PATCHID_FROM_ABOVE

This should give you a list of all commits that correspond to that patchid.

That worked perfectly. Thanks.
