Heh, that was the original formatting until I asked him to change it: https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/8/29/809. Checkpatch throws an error if there's a newline after 'Commit'. Though looking at this again, there shouldn't be a colon after 'Commit' and there should be quotes inside the parentheses, e.g. this satisfies checkpatch: Commit 368a540e0232 ("x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency")
