I got a headache just trying to figure out how to read them. It might be worth looking into in the future, especially if you decide to show them to the users. Perhaps it's just my git eyes being used to seeing the first 4 chars (which is all I normally look at) being different for each different commit, but having to look up the near-end of the string to find the actual difference in bzr's revids was actually a quite painful experience.
I agree, and new formats for how the revisions should look are being discussed on the mailinglist right now. It's not set in stone. /Erik -- google talk/jabber. zindar@xxxxxxxxx SIP-phones: sip:erik_bagfors@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx sip:17476714687@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
