How to determine correlation between nightly and last gitlab fix/commit?

Software

Hello,
is there a way to determine from the nigthly-version-number which is the last gitlab-commit which is incorporated in this nightly?
Or is there rule of thumb how long I have to wait between a gitlab-commit and a nigthly which contains this commit?
background: I have posted some issues on gitlab, the developers were fast and hard-working and now I would like to test (and maybe give feedback) there solutions. I would like to download only versions with the fix/commit.

If I take the version of my current nightly:

Version: 5.99.0-unknown-f4905cb1ae~131~ubuntu20.04.1, release build
Libraries:
    wxWidgets 3.0.4
    libcurl/7.68.0 OpenSSL/1.1.1f zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.7 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.21.0 (+libidn2/2.2.0) libssh/0.9.3/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.40.0 librtmp/2.3
Platform: Linux 5.4.0-81-generic x86_64, 64 bit, Little endian, wxGTK, xfce, x11
Build Info:
    Date: Aug 26 2021 04:08:57
    wxWidgets: 3.0.4 (wchar_t,wx containers,compatible with 2.8) GTK+ 3.24
    Boost: 1.71.0
    OCC: 7.3.0
    Curl: 7.68.0
    ngspice: 31
    Compiler: GCC 9.3.0 with C++ ABI 1013
Build settings:
    KICAD_USE_OCC=ON
    KICAD_SPICE=ON

And then:

so that string very likely is (the first part of) the git hash.

ok, with that I have a way to find the corresponding *.zip-file for my already installed kicad-program. Thats good, so I can have the same nigthly-version on different computers.

But my main question remains:
I want to test a nightly which (for instance) incoporates the gitlab-fix/commit 871bdbc9 (now 21hr old).
From which nightly-number onwards the binary includes this fix?
thanks, maik

Current latest nightly from here is from commit a1521d33.

From the source repo i can see that the commit that interests you is included.

These hashes are created from git when commiting and they are usually much longer than 8 digits and unique for each commit in the same history.
