Unfortunately it's a trap, though. :) Sometimes there are two names
for a rev, and git name-rev doesn't necessarily give the name based on
the oldest tag. Also, sometimes commits are backported.
I use name-rev to get a rough idea and then
git log 73e92e51b7969ef5477 ^v3.0
git log --grep='known bad block' v2.6.39..stable/linux-3.0.y
to confirm my guess.
