That's true, but I meant requiring the sha1 hash to contain both
the word "commit" and use ("title").

Looking at checkpatch's errors produced by this GIT_COMMIT_ID
test makes the required form seem a bit too inflexible to me.

For instance: a sha1 hash may be repeated in a commit message where
the first instance has the correct form but the second use is just
the hash and the warning is still produced.
