Regarding the Fixes: tag, I have one question. You suggested
1da177e4c3f4 ("Linux-2.6.12-rc2"), which is indeed the first commit in
the current git history. However, the actual code change seems to go
back further, and I found it in the history.git repository.

In such cases, should the Fixes: tag refer to the first commit in the
mailine git tree, or to the actual commit in history.git where the bug
originated?
