OK, I recall a discussion with Dan where he suggested that some things
that were not actually bug fixes could also merit a Fixes tag.  But it's
probably better if he weighs in directly.

I generally think Fixes should only be used for "real bug" fixes.

The one exception is when I'm reviewing a patch that fixes an "unused
assignment" static checker warning is that I know which commit
introduced the warning.  I don't have strong feelings if it's in the
Fixes tag or if it's just mentioned in the commit message.  But it
helps me when I'm reviewing if I don't have to grovel through git
history myself.  Also I think that it's always a good exercise for
people fixing patches to look at how the bug was introduced.
