grump.
Sentences start with capital letters and end with full-stops.
The preferred way of referring to a commit ID is
1d794e3b353b50ab5d9d46f7c15607f9ec8c78e0 ("Staging: wavelan: delete the driver").
or
1d794e3b353b ("Staging: wavelan: delete the driver").
Yes, it's a pita entering that in there, but I'd rather it be your pita than my pita ;)
If someone can come up with a checkpatch rule which detects a git hash not followed by ("text"), that would help.
Alternatively, we beat Linus up and just use bare commit ID's. All commit IDs refer to Linus's tree anwyay, so if someone wants to locate a commit within a different tree, they look up the patch title in Linus's tree first.
Except for when people send commit ID's which just don't exist in Linus's tree, which happens occasionally.
