[PATCH 1/2] gitk: align the commit summary format to the documentation

From: Beat Bolli <hidden>
Date: 2016-08-26 17:05:54 

In 175d38c (SubmittingPatches: document how to reference previous commits,
2016-07-28) the format for referring to older commits was specified.

Make the text generated by the "Copy commit summary" command match this
format.

 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.
