Hmph. I didn't know gitk already had its own command to produce a short string. I actually think what it produces

is easier to read when pasted into a sentence than what the recent update 175d38ca ("SubmittingPatches: document how to reference previous commits", 2016-07-28) suggests to do, i.e.

> In 175d38c (SubmittingPatches: document how to reference previous commits,
