And if you are building somewhere other than the tip of 'master', it
is necessary to say where, in order to save confusion and wasted
effort for your readers.  E.g.  "This patch was made on top of
merging topic 'X' and 'Y' into 'master'".  Then you'd only have to
wait for 'X' and 'Y' to graduate to 'master' before the topic can
proceed.

Thanks.

Should this information also be added to the commit message

or just the cover letter of the patch?

We often see people write it in the cover letter for multi-patch
series.  For a single patch topic, it is written under the
three-dash line.

Thanks.
