FWIW, my short-term plans include support for monotone-like hash ID shortening - it's enough to use the shortest leading unique part of the ID to identify the revision. I will poke to the object repository for that. I also already have Randy Dunlap's git lsobj, which will list all objects of a specified type (very useful especially when looking for orphaned commits and such rather lowlevel work). -- Petr "Pasky" Baudis Stuff: http://pasky.or.cz/ 98% of the time I am right.
