FWIW, I personally hate those "Link:" that do not say what the links
are for (IOW, I am OK with "BugLink:" or even "Bug:").
In any case, I polled your repository but I did not find anything to
pull. Do you want me to start my own gitk mirror, queue this patch
there and pull from it myself, or is this meant to be a preview of
what you'll tell me to pull in a few days?
Thanks.
