Please drop this line.
Because it's redundant, as I've also used Link:?
(That, too ;-)

Because the use of the Message-ID: tag in patches is not documented.

Now I wonder where I picked up that habit ...

IIRC, it might also cause issues when applying, as the downloaded patch
will appear to have two Message-IDs.
That's correct (if you refer to a patch in mbox format), but from the context of the two Message-ID lines, it ought to be clear which one matters.
I'm not sure the sample git hook in Documentation/maintainer/configure-git.rst
(and all variants the various maintainers are using) handles this correctly.

You're right, it won't check for context there.

In this particular instance, it won't use my Message-ID tag anyway though (forgot the angle brackets).

I'll fix that in v5 later.

Cheers,

    Michael
