OK.

In my ~/.gitconfig:

[core]
       abbrev = 12

# Check for 'Fixes:' tag used in the Linux-kernel development process
(Thanks Kalle Valo).
# Link: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/Documentation/process/submitting-patches.rst
# Usage: $ git log --format=fixes | head -5
[pretty]
   fixes = Fixes: %h (\"%s\")

Hope this is useful for others.
