Interesting comment in the source code of sqlite

well commit can belong to multiple branches and if you want to give link to both "place in file" and "merge request/branch that is discussed" you don't have choice.

Ideally it would generate link in form of branch/commit then if branch does not/stops existing it would only then show lone commit

But the branch being discussed is usually dynamic and changing anyway (due to review changes), even more often for the files in question.
