For small and young projects, a prefix of 10 feels long. I have repositories where I am essentially the only committer where a 6 character prefix is unambiguous. For that case too, having `set prefix-length` seems quite reasonable. It can default to 10, to minimize surprise to users. It should probably treat anything less than 4 as "silly", however. I anticipate that the painful part of implementing this is the sweep through all the code that displays hashes to regularize the format. At the same time, removing the feature that extends the prefix to include a hex digit makes sense. -- Ross Berteig r...@cheshireeng.com Cheshire Engineering Corp. http://www.CheshireEng.com/ _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
