Also, people may not notice that the fixes are referring to a different tree. IMO, if you want to reference older commits, the best would be to use Link instead: Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git/comm= it/?id=3D3bc0a5f5c1 and perhaps keep: Fixes: 1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2") Regards, Mauro
