Hi, first view the commit you're in; either pressing "space" when in the
magit-status buffer or if you are in the graphical log buffer, make sure
the pointer is on your current commit and press "space" or "return". You
can also open a log buffer centered on your current commit via "l l".

Then in the commit buffer, there should be a field called "contained:
...". It should tell you which branch you are following.
