This is fine. The commit hash will not change unless the maintainer
rebases the tree.

When maintainers rebase their trees it's their responsibility to deal
with the Fixes tags. Often they just fold the fix into the original
commit so the issue is moot. Stephen Rothwell checks that Fixes tags
point to a valid commit and there are probably other people who have
checks for that as well.
