I thought so, but I couldn't find that commit in Linus' tree either :/

[
.../linux$ git log -1 07c7a6a35497
fatal: ambiguous argument '07c7a6a35497': unknown revision or path not
in the working tree.
Use '--' to separate paths from revisions, like this:
'git <command> [<revision>...] -- [<file>...]'
.../linux$ git log -1 07c7a6a35497 --
fatal: bad revision '07c7a6a35497'
.../linux$ cd ../man-pages/
.../man-pages$ git log -1 07c7a6a35497
.../man-pages$ git log -1 07c7a6a35497 --
.../man-pages$
]

I can't understand that.  It fails in the kernel tree, but not in the
man-pages tree.  But it doesn't find it in either.

It doesn't matter, but I'm curious...

No, don't worry; I fixed it.
