"Previous patch" doesn't tell readers anything specific enough to identify
the change you are referring to.  This will be even more true years down
the line if someone tries to read this commit and figure out what you
are referring to.

We have a standard mechanism to refer to commits, via SHA1_ID and commit
header line text, please use it.

Thank you.
