It's a Gerrit change id, added by the Gerrit hook. That's because I use
Gerrit to track patches when I develop them. Having the Change-Id in
the upstream commits makes it so that Gerrit auto-closes the changes
when I pull origin/master into Gerrit's master branch, so it helps me
with tracking what I have pending.
