Subject: Why not make LKML-Reference useful?

What's LKML-Reference in the kernel git log?
In my understanding, it's a link to the original discussion of the
patch on LKML, for example

LKML-Reference: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128445596126705&w=2

But I never see such a link in the LKML-Reference of the git log.

$cd linux-2.6
$git log | grep LKML-Reference

    LKML-Reference: <201008300127.o7U1RC6Z044051@...262.sakura.ne.jp>

    LKML-Reference: <new-submission>
......

Those LKML-Reference are really useless.

Why not put a link in LKML-Reference?

Thanks,
Lin Ming
