The commit `2017-02-20T01:52:35Z!mikeonthecomputer@gmail.com` is a
good example of a properly-written commit.
Do not use commit hashes to refer to other commits. Use other kinds
of pointers, simple ones like “my previous commit” might suffice, or
use http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=3872[action stamps], which can improve
the meaningfulness of commit identifiers if the repository history is
rewritten (this has happened at least twice!), or if the repository is
converted to another VCS (this happened once before). At the time of
writing (February 2017), core Git does not yet have a mechanism to
output this format, but you may use a
https://gist.github.com/chungy/195f53bfb9253584e596[shell script] and
place it in your `$PATH` to achieve some ease in generating them.
