Hmm, I've just been manually adding the Fixes tags ;-) That's because when
I add a fixes tag, I also do a more in depth analysis to make sure the
commit being tagged is really the cause of the problem. A lot of my fixes
tags are due to very subtle bugs, and a lot of times its a combination of
event that happened.


That said, maybe one day I'll use a script or alias in the future.
