Tangential note: since it looks like "Link:" lines are going to get
more common in general, maybe somebody with the right tck/tk-fu can
make a tool like 'gitk' be able to just do the hyperlinking thing (it
already does it for commit hashes in the commit message, but wouldn't
it be convenient to do that for web links too and open a browser
tab?).

And maybe we can even make git.kernel.org do it too (I think that uses cgit?).

I think that might make it just nicer in general to browse the logs
and actually follow the links without cut-and-paste games..

So using a generic "Link:" tag that can be used for multiple different
things sounds like a win in general over some specialized change-ID
tag. No?
