I'd forgotten how the Git project likes rebasing :)

It's not so much the rebasing, but your patch gets applied manually
from the mbox (meaning a different timestamp) by Junio (meaning a
different committer), who adds his S-o-b (meaning a different commit
message), so yeah, the hash is gonna change ;).

Of course, but in this case the patch had already been pushed by Junio
to the Git repository as 1aadbf, my original commit was 1eb6f8. The
SHA1 wouldn't change when it was cherry-picked to master unless it was
further rewritten.

But in any case referencing the mailing list post instead of the SHA1 is better.
