We typically do not word the commit message as a continuation of the
subject. The subject often becomes invisible in many contexts, so it is
helpful if it can be read standalone while providing all of the context
necessary. So mentioning what is wrong would be welcome here.

We do not use Fixes tags in the Git project.

This looks obviously correct to me.

There's one more thing I noticed: the synopsis for `git config get` says
`--regrexp=<regexp>`, which is clearly wrong. As you're already at it,
would you mind including a second patch that corrects this?

Thanks!
