Quoting SZEDER Gábor[1],
SubmittingPatches is simply wrong: our de-facto standard format for
referencing other commits does not enclose the subject in a pair of
double-quotes:
$ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \("' |wc -l
785
$ git log v2.24.0 |grep -E '[0-9a-f]{7} \([^"]' |wc -l
2276
Those double-quotes don't add any value to the references, but they
result in weird looking references for 1083 of our commits whose
subject lines happen to end with double-quotes, e.g.:
f23a465132
("hashmap_get{,_from_hash} return "struct hashmap_entry *"", 2019-10-06)
and without those unnecessary pair of double-quotes we would have
~3000 more commits whose summary would fit on a single line.
Remove references to the enclosing double-quotes from SubmittingPatches
since our de-facto standard for referencing commits does not actually
use them.
