I often wish I could conveniently find this information--far too often it's hard
to identify the PR when a breaking feature came in. Often I end up waiting for
Corey to publish TWiR, with all the relevant issue numbers in it... but this
makes it hard for me to include references in commit messages in my own
repositories. More often than not, it's an issue in the clarity and
distinctness of the pull requests rather than the code, but often finding the
changeset is easy and the PR hard.

It is not uncommon to base one's work upon another branch (one's own or
another's), depending on that landing before the aforementioned work can land,
or alternatively landing the depended-upon feature as part of said work. What
is at present approximately automatic there would become a manual rebasing--
certainly not insurmountable, but an added inconvenience.
