A change log should never reference another patch. This is meaningless when
seen in a git log. All change logs must be complete stand alone.  

If you look up "previous patch" in the Linux commit log, you will find
a considerable amount of patches which do this:

$ git log master | grep 'previous patch' | wc -l
3006

As Linus has scolded me before with "Just because someone else did it wrong
doesn't give you the excuse to do it wrong too" ;-)
