I've been trying to do this mostly so I can keep track myself (e.g.
533578, 533585). I hadn't thought about how lurkers might find this
instructive. I've only included the commit ID though, since it is
almost globally unique (for git). A link to the commitdiff would
certainly be an improvement for others.
