I usually suggest

git log -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")' 

but pretty much the same.  The trick is to make sure you have a new
enough version of git and make sure that core.abbrev is not set (or set
to "auto").

Right. Maybe it is worth to add this kind of check in checkpatch.pl. One can 
generate the Fixes tag by adding an alias in .gitconfig:

[alias]
fixes = show --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")' -s

And generate the Fixes tag with "git fixes sha1"
