The "Change-Id:" line.
There was a discussion that began with a July 14 patch from Mike Waychison
<mikew@xxxxxxxxxx>:
Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Kconfig:  Allow disabling of CONFIG_DEVPORT

that included the line:
Google-Bug-Id: 3177114

Basically we don't want umpteen zillion different such tags in commit
messages.  I posted a patch last Friday:
Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: add Internal-reference-ID: patch tag

that allows people who want to track their internal references in commit
messages to use a common tag label/format:

Internal-reference-ID: <text>

<text> should not be a private (internal) URL.
