For kernel commits, the "normal" way we reference them looks like this: c592b5734706 ("x86/fpu: Remove use_eager_fpu()") e63650840e8b ("x86/fpu: Finish excising 'eagerfpu'") Which makes it much easier to read and understand. That's what we use for the "Fixes:" tag in commits and in other places (text in commit messages.) To automatically generate that format, you can just do: git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"%h (\"%s\")%n" I recommend just setting up an alias for the above line, otherwise it's a pain to have to remember how to do it all the time. Here's what I do: $ alias gsr='git show -s --abbrev-commit --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"%h (\"%s\")%n"' $ gsr c592b57347069abfc0dcad3b3a302cf882602597 c592b5734706 ("x86/fpu: Remove use_eager_fpu()") > Unfortunately, they don't apply cleanly to stable kernels. Should be very simple to backport if you want to. Also I need copies for the 4.9.y tree as well if you do so. thanks, greg k-h
