And I'm not sure if this particular ERROR is that useful overall.

I find it useful to check commit-id and that it matches a title.
It's easy to make a typo in commit-id and get an invalid one.

That's true, but I meant requiring the sha1 hash to contain both
the word "commit" and use ("title").

Looking at checkpatch's errors produced by this GIT_COMMIT_ID
test makes the required form seem a bit too inflexible to me.

For instance: a sha1 hash may be repeated in a commit message where
the first instance has the correct form but the second use is just
the hash and the warning is still produced.
