I thought I saw that checkpatch was checking this now?

    checkpatch.pl: warn on invalid commit id

Maybe that check should also check that enough hash is provided and
other details like the correct subject line?

I also use a check that builds the fixes line from the commit id and
requires it to be the same as the patch provided. This catches all
sorts of wrong fixes lines, and sometimes git even recommends 13 chars
:\
