How do you match the mails to commits?

I am curious what the right balance for the matching algorithm should be, between being forgiving about amending of commit log message and the patch text to fix minor typos and obvious bugs, and being strict not to cause false matches to a message that contains the second iteration of the patch, when what was committed was the first iteration.
