How to tell when a particular module has been mainlined in the kernel

Is there a nifty web URL or git command I can use to see which kernel version supplies a particular module? In my case, I am wanting to see at which kernel version 'bridge' module was mainlined.

Seems to have been added before the conversion of the kernel to git use:

So you just grepped for it in the Makefile?

$ git log net/bridge/Makefile

This should contain the oldest commit id

$ git describe 1da177e4c3f41524e886b7f1b8a0c1fc7321cac2

This should give the most recent tag for that commit
