Nope, I use it before sending patches out with git send-email.

But you can use this as .git/hooks/commit-msg, just skip taking the
tree as second argument, something like this (just quickly tested):

#!/bin/sh

grep "^Fixes: " "${1}" | while read -r f; do
	sha="$(echo "${f}" | cut -d' ' -f2)"
	if [ -z "${sha}" ] || [ "${f}" != "$(git show -s --abbrev=12 --pretty=format:"Fixes: %h (\"%s\")" "${sha}" 2>/dev/null)" ]; then
		echo "Bad tag: ${f}" && exit 1
	fi
done
