This just means that either everyone uses the reference only as a simple
way of closing the associated issue or they use the web UI to look at
commits.

It's not really about understanding how to get to the issue. It's about
the effort needed to find the issue. I guess for most commits with the
short reference looking at the original issue would not be worth the
effort of finding it. Which is fine, we can safe time by not looking at
unimportant links.

I guess I'm a bit strange, but to me pasting a complete link to an issue
is (if I even know such issue exists, of course) less work than
selecting just the number and prefixing it with '#'.

Either way I think fighting about such insignificant point is not the
best use of our time. Let's save it for more important battles we're
going to face, such as the switch to merge requests.
