It would be great if DXR could expose a truncated revision hash by default (and of course be able to use that too). I intentionally use non-revision URLs because while the following is a little bit unwieldy to paste in a bug (99 chars): https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpChannelParentListener.h#30 the permalink definitely feels unwieldy and sometimes causes my brain to want to skip the URL because the lengthy hash looks a lot like line noise to it (137 chars): https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/rev/d42aacfe34af25e2f5110e2ca3d24a210eabeb33/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpChannelParentListener.h#30 It might also be feasible to have bugzilla try and do something like github does where it recognizes the raw link and exposes it as <a href="FULL LINK">mozilla-central/netwerk/protocol/http/HttpChannelParentListener.h</a> to help with that. Now that we have a "preview" tab, the rewriting wouldn't be so bad. I think the truncated hash would still be nice for other venues that don't specialize for dxr.
