The SHA1 tag does exist and I have another tag:
History Tree: https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git
That lists the tree it actually came from.

That is the best way I can see to handle bugs that predate v2.6.12 that
Linus first put into git.

Would it make sense to graft you tree that you check for the existence
of bad sha1s to Thomas's import of the bk tree into git?

Is there a better way to refer to old commits that I haven't seen?
