Can you use short hash and commit title format? Also it's no longer
just reverting that patch, so maybe just come up with a new title
for this patch and reference the two patches here?

Oh, I meant to say for the last patch and this one. Can you move
them to after patch 13? That way all your build and wrapper mucking
are in the first patches, and then all the zeroizing comes next.
Thanks,
Nick
