Hi Simon,

Sorry, along with my other suggestions, adding the "Fixes" tag was sent
as a comment, which the mailer reformatted.   As it is the top of the
branch, I've amended the commit and pushed it out to Korg.

For future reference, "git log --pretty=fixes -1 --abbrev=12 <commit
number>"  produces the proper message.  The "--abbrev" value can be set
by defining core.abbrev=12 in the git config.

thanks,

Mimi
