For temporary references, like during a code review, you can use the first "several" digits of the hash. For a project of FreeBSD's size, "several" is probably 11-13. But in permanent contexts, like commit logs, you should use the full hash. When somebody views the commit on a platform like Github, Github will automatically turn it into a hyperlink, and display only the first "several" digits. -Alan _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
