Subject: FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX increase
Date: Mon, 29 May 2017 10:49:59 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <99ac8ee7-67b5-5ae7-51cf-6be38de6217f@redhat.com> (raw)

Hi,

would it be possible to

- increase the FORMAT_PATCH_NAME_MAX macro from 64 to, say, 128?

- Or else to introduce a new git-config knob for it?

I have a small review-helper / interdiff script that matches patches
from adjacent versions of a series against each other, based on subject
line. (Using the formatted file name with the patch number stripped.)
The project in question uses long common prefixes in subjects, and the
current limit of 64 does not always ensure unicity (again, with the
number stripped).

Thank you,
Laszlo
