Thanks for this link to the previous discussion topic “linux-next:
Fixes tag needs some work in the tip tree”.
https://lkml.org/lkml/2019/1/17/966

With which script did you determine the presented statistic for variations
in the usage of details for such tags?

Will another update become interesting how often shorter commit identifiers
are still published for Linux patches?

Regards,
Markus
