Yes, but hashes in random trees also don't tell much. A tree can be
rebased so the hash will be lost. It can be a tree unknown to the
system. Even if we find the commit by hash, in order to match it
against other trees we will have to use the title anyway (or are there
better options?), so using hashes becomes pointless.

Because as our internal practice shows, developers reference commits
for other reasons (a commit that introduced the bug, a commit that
should have been prevented the bug but as the report shows it does
not, a commit that may fix the bug but one does not sure, etc). It
looks reasonable for effectively a bug tracking system to explicitly
say what fixes what.
