Sorry for wandering into a thread in the middle. But we've already
been down this road before, and decided the additional header wasn't
worth it from cherry-pick. What's changed? The fact that gitk
wants to hyperlink this? Why can't it just regex out a string of
hex digits longer than 6 and see if there is a commit that matches?
The main difference is that git-cherry too often does not work right now
(I have a local patch so that it more-or-less works with my GNU
ChangeLogs, but it does not improve the situation if rerere kicks in).
(Of course git cherry could also regex out a string of hex digits longer
than 6 and see if there is a commit that matches).
