These are the first 4 characters of the commit id that last added/changed that line of code. Basically the standard abbreviated 8 character SHA1 would take up too much screen real estate. You can still use a 4 character SHA as long as there aren't any commits in your tree that start with the same 4 characters (the possibility of collisions exists with 8 character ones too, it's just less likely). > > What does "Blame Parent Commit" mean? > It means that you have decided that the commit that it currently has selected is not interesting and you want to see the previous commit that modified that section (e.g. it was just some formatting change and you want the commit that actually added the code in question). > Thanks! > > Josh > -- > To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in > the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org > More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
