Having the exact upstream commit id - a bunch of random numbers and
letters - in the commit message does not make the commit message any
more useful, readable, or searchable. You can't even click on that id to
open a gitweb webpage with the upstream patch (having that kind of link
*would* be useful though).
The change to the recipe is short, and no one should be overwhelmed by
looking at it if they need the commit id.
