Why not use [f] then? The short ID may be unambiguous when you create the entry, but it's not future proof. The chances of a collision increase over time. You could disambiguate collisions by walking the history from the root and finding the first matching commit, but that's in-efficient, why not record it at the time, as you know exactly what the full name is.
