I haven't looked at the actual history, but given the names of the commits
as produced by git-describe, I doubt that your history graph sketched
above is correct. Doesn't it look more like this:

      A -- B -- C -- D --
     /         /
 -- X -- E -- F

where X is v5.15.4?

To find a commit between A and B, you must declare F as "good".
