Unfortunately that minimum length of 8 characters is hardcoded [1]. Apparently this limit was chosen to avoid linking "rfc1234" [2], although I do not see the reason why the [revnum/repo] form must have a minimum length... As an alternative, the [changeset:42a4d67a/macports-ports] syntax works in any case, with 7 or even fewer characters.
