It is quite useless to ask which branch a given commit is on, since it
could be on any number of branches, only some of which might be shared
between your repo and the repo of the reporter.

* blafasel
  master

I've just created and checked out a new branch blafasel, then asked git
to name the (local) branches that have this commit.  I generally don't
pull feature branches and similar namespaces, but almost always work on
local branches.

So, what information would you gain if you learned it was branch
"blafasel"?
