Subject: [PATCH 2/3] gitweb: Link to 7-character SHA1SUMS in commit messages
Date: Wed, 21 Sep 2016 11:44:27 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160921114428.28664-2-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20160921114428.28664-1-avarab@gmail.com>
Change the minimum length of a commit we'll link to from 8 to 7.
This arbitrary minimum length of 8 was introduced in
v1.4.4.2-151-gbfe2191, but as seen in e.g. v1.7.4-1-gdce9648 the
default abbreviation length is 7.
It's still possible to reference SHA1s down to 4 characters in length,
see v1.7.4-1-gdce9648's MINIMUM_ABBREV, but I can't see how to make
git actually produce that, so I doubt anyone is putting that into log
messages in practice, but people definitely do put 7 character SHA1s
into log messages.
I think it's fairly dubious to link to things matching [0-9a-fA-F]
here as opposed to just [0-9a-f], that dates back to the initial
version of gitweb from 161332a. Git will accept all-caps SHA1s, but
didn't ever produce them as far as I can tell.
