Understood. I will revert the change. Though, what Kaartic suggested, to
do a '--short=7', that will be okay to keep right?
Sure, that is a strict improvement to lose an unneeded process, as
long as we know HEAD is guaranteed to be unique with 7 hexdigits
(otherwise "cut" to strictly 7 and "rev-parse --short=7 HEAD" would
produce different results.
Thanks.
