Hmm, would something wrapping around of the following work?
Considering there might be more than one matching group in each line,
so the example holds only for a simplest case again :(

----cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut---------cut-----
import re
string = "Fixed by https://git.kernel.org/linus/57e68e9cd65b4b8eb4045a1e0d0746458502554c (v3.15-rc1)"
print re.search("(?P<url>https?://[^\s]+)", string).group("url")
