I've usually preferred to use a date, eg, "my patch of 2009-10-07",
when referring to previous patches in commit messages. I think people
have occasionally mentioned CVS revision IDs, but the folly of that
should now be obvious. I agree that reference to a git hash is way
way way too fragile and git-centric.
