Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.8 Severity: normal Hi,
today I ran "gbp pq export" in our Debian systemd git repository. This generated quite a bit of churn, in the form of -index f2d8bf5..7f2d731 100644 +index f2d8bf57f..7f2d73199 100644 This seems to be a result of using git 2.11.0 [1]: The default abbreviation length, which has historically been 7, now scales as the repository grows, using the approximate number of objects in the repository and a bit of math around the birthday paradox. The logic suggests to use 12 hexdigits for the Linux kernel, and 9 to 10 for Git itself. I wonder, whether gbp pq should setup a default core.abbrev=12 i.e. something which is reasonably large and constant.
