That of course was a "quick and dirty way". I mentioned this approach
because it was about sleuthing a recent commit.

'lb' has now become a goto to do all sorts of things: branching, merging,
cherry picking, interactive rebase, quickly doing n/p in the log to see
commit details in the other window.. and this particular use case fit in
too..

YMMW, but the first thing I do almost always after M-x magit-status is lb
followed by fa.

Also, the method Noam mentioned is spot on: M-x magit-show-commi.
