How can you figure out which commit went into which version of cmake?

Other hints that it was 3.17 (without having a local clone):

  • the milestone for the MR is 3.17.0
  • the merge commit (available towards the end of the MR in the “mentioned in commit …” note) tag listing (requires hitting the ··· button) shows 3.17.0-rc1, but no 3.16 tags.
