In the single patch case, you can put the line under the "---" mark in the commit message (no need to let it enter git history). For human readability, around the "Based-on:" line it may be better if the subject is noted. E.g.: Based-on: 20170804140942.19342-1-famz@redhat.com ([PATCH for-2.10] vmdk: Fix error handling/reporting of vmdk_check) Please don't join them in one line because it will confuse the parser, after all following the message id text, there aren't many spaces left.
