The quoted script does not necessarily give the right commit object name at least under three scenarios: - when we would need to add encoding header, etc.; - when we are recording merges (perhaps merges will not get rebased in Gerrit workflow and it does not matter what random garbage this script added to them). - when we record the commit after 1-sec boundary since _gen_ChangeIdInput in the script was called. I wouldn't call the script "buggy", but I tend to agree with you that it is an unnecessarily more complex way to spell "grab 20 random bytes" ;-) > That said, I don't think that --change-id option that the user must not > forget to use is any better than a hook that the user must not forget to > install.
