Subject: [PATCH 03/20] blame doc: explicitly note how --abbrev=40 gives 39 chars
Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2018 22:41:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180608224136.20220-4-avarab@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180608224136.20220-1-avarab@gmail.com>
In a later change I'm adding stress testing of the commit abbreviation
as it relates to git-blame and others, and initially thought that the
inability to extract full SHA-1s from the non-"--porcelain" output was
a bug.
In hindsight I could have read the existing paragraph more carefully,
but let's make this clearer by explicitly stating this limitation of
--abbrev as it relates to git-blame, it is not shared by any other
command that supports core.abbrev or --abbrev.

Instead of using the default 7+1 hexadecimal digits as the
abbreviated object name, use <n>+1 digits. Note that 1 column
is used for a caret to mark the boundary commit.

+Because of this UI design, the only way to get the full SHA-1 of the
+boundary commit is to use the `--porcelain` format. With `--abbrev=40`
+only 39 characters of the boundary SHA-1 will be emitted, since one

THE PORCELAIN FORMAT
