Hi,

Running b4 pr on a message that mentions a commit that's already in some
local branch nor (AFAICT) sets up to do a b4 ty for the PR (which is a
large part of what I'm looking for here):

$ b4 pr [email protected] 
Looking up [email protected]
Looking at: [GIT PULL] spi-nand/spi-mem changes for 7.2
Pull request tip commit exists in the following branches:
  b4/review/20260216-sc2730-regulators-13ba789641a4
  b4/review/20260527-spi-cadence-quadspi-add-phy-tuning-support-bcef16741d7d
  b4/review/20260528-asoc-use-named-initializers-for-platform_device_id-arrays-b0874c719b61

(the fact that b4 pr will happily pick up random linux-next commits as
branch bases is a separate issue...).  The fact that I've got a copy of
the branch locally shouldn't be relevant to my descision to pull it into
a published branch.

Thanks,
Mark
