It's displayed in the Baseline section for every patchset.

For mm patchsets if the base commit is not specified it's mm-new then
mm-unstable then mm-stable then linux-next/HEAD and then linus/HEAD
(and now I think that it should not only show HEAD, but the actual sha).

I don't have yet support for "previous version is applied, let's revert
it and try the new one" case. Something to add later.

Yes, I'm planning to add it. Sashiko will have an access to previous
versions of the patchset and the whole discussion thread and take it
into the account.

Thanks!
