OK, I've applied this one, thanks.

There was a comment on this one, so I've not (yet) applied it.

FWIW, I, too, have the Link: tags put in automatically when I apply a
patch, as Jani described; it's a simple hook in
.git/hooks/applypatch-msg.  That seems worth mentioning here more than
instructions on how to construct the link - I doubt many people do it
manually.

Thanks,
