Oh, sorry I didn't notice it. Thank you so much.

I generate this tag by the following script:

#cat .gitconfig
  [alias]
          fixes = log --abbrev=12 -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")'


#git fixes 9c1dd22d742249cfae7bbf3680a7c188d194d3ce
Fixes: 9c1dd22d7422 (ext4: factor out ext4_load_and_init_journal())

This works fine before but it fails recently. I don't know what makes 
the behavior changed.

However if I directly call the whole command:
#git log --abbrev=12 -1 --format='Fixes: %h ("%s")' 9c1dd22d742249cfae
Fixes: 9c1dd22d7422 ("ext4: factor out ext4_load_and_init_journal()")

It works fine.
