That seems to be historically the trend.  That's what I plan to do when I get around to the strict-aliasing issue.

It doesn't seem like the changes you are referring to actually lend themselves to strict requirements... just man pages and stylistic cleanups.  I'm not sure how that can result in a requirement.

If you simply want to refer to commit <some hash>, then I'd say just leave that text out of the comment for now and insert the text after you actually push the first commit (so you have the correct hash to write in the second)
