I wouldn't think so.  Their comment in the release notes is:

This release package includes a series of patches on top of the "pm"
branch maintained at
"http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tmlind/linux-omap-2.6.git;a=shortlog;h=pm". Baseline: [Commit:ef25c2a0e0]: OMAP3: PM: defconfig: enable SRF by default.

1) How can I search the linux-omap git world to see if the commit string
exists?

2) When trees are rebased, are the previous commits in the tree lost -
i.e. if tree A has commits A', A'', etc, and is rebased on tree B(which
does not have the commits A', A'' in it), are the commits A', A'', etc
lost?
