In my workflow each commit is associated with a ticket. This provides me with requirement tracking and traceability from the requirements/tasks/defects stored in tickets to the code or data changes in the repository. So like Ross I would like the functionality using the [hashcode] to be maintained.
I would actually like a warning if [hashcode] link doesn't exist.
