Learn the way how it is usually done by looking at: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250106-b4-pks-object-file-racy-collision-check-v2-0-8b3984ecbb18@pks.im/ Basically you would want to say This is built on top of with merged into it. where is a commit on 'master' (or 'maint' or an even older maintenance track, if the topic is about fixing a bug in a released version of Git), and are topic branches in flight that can be merged to the same integration target ('master', or an older maintenance tracks you chose from). And keep the number of to an absolute minimum in order for your changes to work. Thanks.
