If you want to reference a previous commit in the history of a stable branch use the format "abbreviated sha1 (subject, date)". So for example like this: "Commit f86a374 (pack-bitmap.c: fix a memleak, 2015-03-30) -noticed [...]". +noticed [...]". The "Copy commit summary" command of gitk generates this +format. (3) Generate your patch using Git tools out of your commits.
