I guess it is because neither this change nor the below change did not
take care of disallowing the branch name with '--commit'. That said, I
do agree that I think a Fixes is a little superfluous here, I would
leave it off of future revisions.

While I do agree that we should revert this change, which is

  d62d5aed3354 ("checkkconfigsymbols.py: Forbid passing 'HEAD' to --commit")

in the tree, I think it would be better done as a separate commit, whose
justification is that HEAD is now properly resolved as a result of this
change.
