Change-ID captures all this information. You can know the patch in all
branches with Change-ID, now that we are following same Change-ID across
branches.

Change-ID is mentioned in the commit which is there in the git log, so we
can figure out the information without needing internet/gerrit. So that
part is not a problem.

All of this information was important to mention earlier because there was
no common thing binding all together. With same Change-ID across branches
for a patch, it seems unnecessary to mention this information in the commit
message.
