That is already the case (with the exception that it is not the "exact commit subject line" but the oneline, i.e. unwrapped first paragraph). > However it would also be useful if the actual commit subject line could > have a similar format option, so that those who use say the git gui > (rather than the cli) for the commit message, could easily create the > `!fixup <commit>` message which would allow a broader range of ways of > spelling the commit (e.g. giving a sha1(min length) that is within the > rebase todo list). It is already the case that `fixup! <sha1>` is accepted, see the code replaced by above-mentioned commit: https://github.com/dscho/git/commit/7d0831637f#diff-0f15aff45d5dd346465c35597a5f274eL780 ... and its replacement code in C: https://github.com/dscho/git/commit/7d0831637f#diff-79231f0693f84f3951daeea17065aad9R2800 Note that both preimage and postimage code try to match onelines first, with the new code changing behavior ever so slightly: it tries to match the exact oneline first, then a commit SHA-1 of an already-seen `pick` line, and only then falls back to the (expensive) prefix match.
