What "function"?

This is my argument. Those Link: things need to have a *reason*.

Saying "they are a change ID" is not a reason. That's just a random
word-salad. You need to have an active reason that you can explain,
not just say "look, I want to add a message ID to every commit".

Here's the thing. There's a difference between "data" and "information".

We should add information to the commits, not random data.

And most definitely not just random data that can be trivially
auto-generated after-the-fact.
