It would be great if we could get used to using the same syntax as the
Linux kernel project to document stuff.  I'm trying to follow their lead
for a while.  For fixes to former commits, it looks like this in the
kernel, at the end of the commit message:

Fixes: 123456789012 ("title of commit 123456789012")

Yeah, core.abbrev is 12 digits.  I'm using this setting for quite some
time locally.

Anyway, please push.


Thanks,
Corinna
