The above (without %s which shouldn't have been there) would give: 

    This reverts commit efe05b019ca19328d27c07ef32b4698a7f36166f,
    reverting damages made to ec9f0ea3e6ecf1237223dec8428e7bb73d339320.
 
Do you want:

    This reverts commit efe05b019ca19328d27c07ef32b4698a7f36166f, reversing
    changes made to ec9f0ea3e6ecf1237223dec8428e7bb73d339320.

this instead?
