A version number is not sufficient. It depends, which branch is checked
out. See for example

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
# ( cd ~/src/emacs ; git name-rev d2a07b9a82a632e8baa179c667a98d275e5f6973 )
d2a07b9a82a632e8baa179c667a98d275e5f6973 
remotes/origin/scratch/accurate-warning-pos~44

# ( cd ~/src/emacs-test ; git name-rev d2a07b9a82a632e8baa179c667a98d275e5f6973 
)
d2a07b9a82a632e8baa179c667a98d275e5f6973 remotes/origin/HEAD~89
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

The former is a master checkout, the latter is a
feature/tramp-thread-safe checkout. Just the revision
d2a07b9a82a632e8baa179c667a98d275e5f6973 doesn't tell me the branch the
original bug report has been written for.

Best regards, Michael.
