This is a bit of an aside, but if anyone's interested in grepping git log, I've written a python script that helps with this:
https://github.com/umbrant/versions This includes a fixup file that patches typo'd commit messages as well as commits that include multiple JIRAs. The script also detects reverts and merges. I wrote this to validate the 3.0.0-alpha2 fixversion matches the state in the git repo, and it found a lot of mistakes. It should be easy to add support for other releases, though someone would need to go through the errors to make the fixup file.
