A comment on the patch at large: I realize that the author isn't familiar with Tcl, and this is a minimal & immediate fix, so maybe we should just take it. But I wonder if this == 40 or == 64 shouldn't just be "accept either" in this case, these all seem like cases where we disambiguate a hash from some other name. Doing so would be nicely forward-compatible in case gitk and others ever need to deal with viewing a mixed set of hashes, or maybe I'm again misrecalling the transition plan and that'll never happen (they'll always be translated?). Especially stuff like this (grabbing a bit to quote from the patch): >> - if {[regexp {^[0-9a-f]{4,39}$} $id]} { >> + if {[regexp [string map "@@ [expr $hashlength - 1]" {^[0-9a-f]{4,@@}$}] $id]} { Would be simpler as just: if {[regexp {^[0-9a-f]{4,63}$} $id]} {
