I think the idea is that the date/time and the header line identify
the commit well enough to be able to find it using VCS commands.

I'm not sure having hyperlinks justifies the trouble of having to
concoct those stamps. In a repository such as we have in Emacs, a
time stamp should allow you to find the commit fairly easily, I think.
