I suggest you stop this nonsense now.

If you are going to submit a patch for "net", then the last thing you do
is check out net/master and rebase on top of it.  If you had done so,
then you would have noticed the conflict.  You never need to know the
commit id.  Where the heck do you think I got it?

Does it matter?  You obviously knew you were posting a duplicate.  There
is no excuse for that.  Duplicates do *not* help.  Whether you are able
to find the original or not doesn't matter.  The rest of the world is.
Duplicate are confusing.  Confusion cause delays and noise.  I assume
you don't want either.

Your lack of proper tools is your problem...

Now I know I come out a bit harsh.  I can't help it.  It's not that I
care much about whether or not I am credited for this oneliner, and you
did credit me in any case. But this whole discussion is so completely
unnecessary.  Just use patchwork to track the status of patches you are
interested in. If you can't find a patch there, then YOU are doing
something wrong.  It's as simple as that. No excuse.
