When referring to earlier commits in commit messages or other text, one
of the established formats is
<abbrev-sha> ("<summary>", <author-date>)
Add a "Copy commit summary" command to the context menu that puts this
text for the currently selected commit on the clipboard. This makes it
easy for our users to create well-formatted commit references.
The <abbrev-sha> is produced with the %h format specifier to make it
unique. Its minimum length can be controlled with the config setting
core.abbrev.
