Sorry about this. The checkpatch.pl script initially did complain
about the format of my commit references in v1:

"ERROR: Please use git commit description style"

But it only complained about number of characters in SHA, it did not
mention anything about line break. I will take care not to introduce
these line breaks in future commits, but it would be nice if
checkpatch.pl could check for this.
