And if yes how? The code review system Gerrit (highly recommended!) uses a commit-hook to adds a trailer line to every commit message, e.g.: Change-Id: Id8269a1aa4a2c7a1a584b23b01d63259410c4e85 This Change-Id is used to identify a change even if the change gets amended or rebased and thus is represented in a different commit. So if you're using Gerrit you can refer to changes instead of commits and use the Change-Id. Even if you don't use Gerrit you can still use its commit-hook to write the Change-Id trailers.
