Yeah, if it was the wrong SHA I would rebase, but not just for a short
SHA.
You can avoid this in future by doing:
$ git config --add core.abbrev 12
$ git config --add pretty.fixes 'Fixes: %h ("%s")'
$ git config --add alias.showfix 'log -1 --format=fixes'
Then you can do:
$ git showfix 7ffd948
Fixes: 7ffd948fae4c ("powerpc/perf: factor out power8 pmu functions")
cheers
