It was discussed at kernel summit, and I believe the resulting format
was only published in one of the kernel summit mailing lists. The
outcome of it as I understand was that the format is:
Fixes: <hash> ("<one line summary>")
Though the addition of the quotes was (iirc) only something added after
the vocal discussion. If you mail Linus a patch with a fixes line which
doesn't match that, Linus will probably fix it up... (Linus has done that
with one of mine in the past.)
