Doing a git log and grepping for the Change-Id is one way to do it, as mentioned in Brad's answer. The downside of that is that you will pick up any references to that Change-Id in commit messages, and they may not be the actual change you're looking for.

Instead, you can search for the commit's sha1 like this:

git log --format="%H" | grep 11111111222222223333333344444444

Replace 11111111222222223333333344444444 with the sha1 of your commit.

I don't know if or how Gerrit actually fits into this, but you can examine a commit with

git show COMMIT

If it tells you it can't find the commit, it doesn't exist.

Does the commit have a change-id? If so, I think the easiest answer is to use git log | grep $CHANGE_ID. This will quickly let you know if that change-id is in your commit history.

The Gerrit web UI makes it easy to cherry-pick changes from the server to your workspace, so I can't think of a better approach using the original commit's SHA1.
