Does it really help to include the subject as well? I suppose it will help
in the case where the patch has been cherry-picked into other trees,
stable for instance. However, I truly didn't expect anyone to remember the
original commit as the first thing I do is to read through the identified
commit to try and understand the subsequent patch in context.
