I remember you used to oppose the idea of using the Fixes/Resolves tags
in commit messages and be quite adamant about it,
I objected to their usage with links to bugzilla, since the word seems
redundant in combination with a bugzilla link (especially since it is
only intended for human consumption). Or, if you say 'Resolves'
on a preparatory patch, you're actually lying in the current commit
message.
Plain https: links mess with git's interpret-trailers functionality,
but that can be worked around in your .gitconfig:
[trailer "https"]
key = https:
ifExists = doNothing
With commit message IDs, if you dropped a plain one without a context,
I would not know whether you find a bug in it, or just took it as an
inspiration.
so looks strange you would suggest it.
I've known you for a few years now, surely there would be other things
by now I've had a change of heart about. :)

Anyhow, noted, I forgot that the period breaks the double click
selection of the hash.
