 If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable
 branch use the format "abbreviated sha1 (subject, date)". So for example
 like this: "Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30)
-noticed [...]".
+noticed [...]". The "Copy commit summary" command of gitk generates this
+format.
