FWIW, this is rather useless since tip/master gets rebased all the time.
Also, being a merge commit, it's rather impossible to even infer which
commit this might have been near.

Personally, I like to take my series', tag them, then throw them out in
a public git tree somewhere. That has two advantages. First, it makes
it easy for a reviewer to look at the series as a whole in its applied
state. Second, it makes it utterly trivial to figure out where the
series was based because the entire history is there. The entire
history will be there even if you based it off some tip branch that got
rebased away since.
