It would be great if we could get used to using the same syntax as the
Linux kernel project to document stuff. I'm trying to follow their lead

Fixes: 123456789012 ("title of commit 123456789012")
Yeah, core.abbrev is 12 digits. I'm using this setting for quite some
time locally.
Sounds good. Is there some script to automate generating this kind of
comment from a commit-id?
I don't think so, at least I don't see anything like that in git docs...
It's note _quite_ what you asked for, but `git show --pretty=reference -s
<commit>` (https://git-scm.com/docs/git-show#_pretty_formats) gives you
_almost_ what you are looking for.
But you can always call `git show -s --format='%h ("%s")' <commit>`, and
even configure an alias for this:
git config --global alias.pretty-print-commit \
"-c core.abbrev=12 show -s --format='%h (\"%s\")'"
Thanks!
I added '-c core.pager=', but this is what I was looking for, to save a
bit of copying and pasting and editing.
