@mustaccio If you have a suggestion as to how to ask the question better, or a method to achieve the desired results, which is to find a commit hidden in a multilevel call stack, I would love to hear it.

Some folks just aren't ready to work & play well with others until they have had that first cup of coffee, tea, other substance or ritual. I believe the question I asked which may have the simple answer you provided, is still valid. Perhaps it might spark an idea in a developer's brain.

A down vote for asking a well formed question? Someone needs their coffee.
