Add a git_commit_info() helper to resolve commit hashes and validate the Fixes: tag in commit messages. The canonical form is: Fixes: <12+ chars of sha1> ("") The check validates capitalization, spacing, hash length, lowercase hex, and quoted title. When the format is wrong and the commit can be resolved, suggest the corrected Fixes: line. When running inside a git repository, also verify that the referenced commit is an ancestor of master. Lines matching "Fixes: CVE-*" are skipped. The check can be disabled with --no-fixes-tag.
