Same story with the fixes tag as on your other submission.
The fixes tag is supposed to refer to the commit which introduced
the bug. It helps the backporters determine whether they need to
backport given fix to their trees. In case the commit which added
the bug predates git history you can refer to the first commit in
the history.
