The patch-logs for tags include a Continuation-of: header.  If it's not 
present, you can assume the ancestor is the previous patchlevel.

Due to tagging, a revision can have multiple descendants, even within a 
given version.

If you're interested in the line of ancestry that produced the latest 
revision, I think you'd have to scan the archive backwards from the most 
recent revision to find that out.  (And it might be "none".)
