Junio publishes a git-notes ref with the mapping you want. So you can do: git fetch git://github.com/gitster/git.git refs/notes/amlog:refs/notes/amlog mid=$(git notes --ref amlog show $commit | perl -lne '/<(.*)>/ and print $1') echo "https://public-inbox.org/git/$mid"; without having to download the gigantic list archive repo at all (though I do keep my own copy of the archive and index it with mairix, so I can use "mairix -t m:$mid" and then view the whole thing locally in mutt). -Peff
