Github commit message links

Question

Is it possible to create a commit message with link to other repository commit?

Eg. something like [Username\Repo\commitHash]

Usage example: if some bc break would happen in some framework's commit, I'd like to link to this very commit in my own commits updating my code which uses this framework.

I don't think there's anything stopping you from putting something like:

http://github.com/pkrumins/lulzbot/commit/4c1b1ea95b379805e3b595b511a89affc6811145

Right in your commit message. While this doesn't link directly to the git object's version of the commit... it leads to a page showing that commit.

Format is github.com/User/Repo/commit/hashtag
