From: Salvatore Bonaccorso
Date: Tue Aug 09 2022 - 09:37:07 EST


Additionally to the "commit <sha1> upstream." variant, "[ Upstream
commit <sha1> ]" is used as well as alternative to refer to the upstream
commit hash.

Changes in v2:
- Drop extra RST markup which just only clutters things without any
advantage.
