If it helps, this is what I use after being bitten once: #!/bin/sh [ ${#} -ne 2 ] && echo "Usage: %0 PATCH_FILE GIT_TREE" && exit 1 grep "^Fixes: " "${1}" | while read -r f; do sha="$(echo "${f}" | cut -d' ' -f2)" if [ -z "${sha}" ] || [ "${f}" != "$(git -C "${2}" show -s --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" "${sha}" 2>/dev/null)" ]; then echo "Bad tag: ${f}" && exit 1 fi done -- Stefano
