Btw, so far nobody has even _explained_ what the advantage of the origin 
link is. It apparently has no effect for most things, and for other things 
it has some (unspecified) effect when it can be resolved.

Apart from the "dotted line" in graphical history viewers, I haven't 
actually heard any single concrete example of exactly what it would *do*.

And that dotted line really does sound like something you could do with 
just the existing "hyperlink" functionality in the commit message.
