Re: Feature idea : notes to track status of a commit, which remotes it is shared to

Mildred Ki'Lya [off-list ref] writes:

The idea is to basically track automatically (in notes, either in the
notes namespace or in another namespace) which repository/remote
contains a commit. When doing git log, we'd see lines with each
commit, something like:

commit b044e6d0f1a1782820b052348ab0db314e2db3ca
Author: Myself [off-list ref]
Date:   Tue Nov 20 16:46:38 2012 +0100

    This is the commit description

Published on:
    origin
    git@git.host.com:pub/repo.git

The problem here is that doing this in notes is unreliable: you'd have
to identify all places where the set of "publishes" can change for any
commit, and update them there.

It's much easier, if a bit slower, to just run

  git branch -r --contains $commit
