It's a truncated hash, and git understands that when you give it a partial hash
it should try to find a hash that starts with it.

That doesn't change the fact that we move from sequential integer based
revision numbers where r5 is always newer than r2. To a non-numeric commit hash
which is non-ordered. So given AF456BC and BE98W9X there's no way to tell which
is newer ;)
