That was new to me -- thanks! Just for completeness' sake, the explicit
(non-relative) way of doing this would be to look at the top of the
fast-forward message and use the updated-from commit as an anchor:

From git.sv.gnu.org:/srv/git/emacs
   61f73703c7..ce54573dac  master     -> origin/master
   12c77f6918..9134c841f1  emacs-26   -> origin/emacs-26
Updating 61f73703c7..ce54573dac
