This should be:

Fixes: 72b3942a173c ("scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init")

You can add an alias to always get the format right, like:

$ git config --global alias.fixes 'show -s --format="Fixes: %h (\"%s\")"'

$ git fixes 72b3942a173c387b27860ba1069636726e208777
Fixes: 72b3942a173c ("scripts: ftrace - move the sort-processing in ftrace_init")

This resolves the warnings I reported and does not introduce any new
ones. It seems reasonable to me.

Wonder if this would be better using either '= {}' or '= {0}'?
