Yes, setting base-commit is the right solution here -- it will tell you exactly where in the tree it belongs.
I didn't know that before today and that's good advice when sending patches, but if I'm receiving patches without that field set, I wonder how people are dealing with that.
In its absence, tools like b4 will also try to guess where the series might belong by comparing the file index information mentioned in the patches.
Ah, this! https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/ This looks wonderful, thank you!
