The Linux style Fixes tag has been adopted by many projects and represents
best practice for referring to previous commits which introduce a bug that
has been fixed by the present commit. Creating these tags manually can be
error prone and doing so using git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")' is
cumbersome. It's time the commit command learn to perform this popular
pattern natively.
Implement a convenient command line option to add Fixes tags at the end of
the log message during commmit. The tag refers to the commit hash and
subject line of the given commit reference. This option may appear
multiple times on the command line to reference more than one commit. A
new tag will only be added if it does not already exist in the log message
trailer and will otherwise be added in option order to the beginning of
the trailer section. The minimum number of characters comprising the hash
portion of the tag is 12 by default, but the `core.abbrev` configuration
variable will be honored if it is specified.
