And the thing I wanted to work was to have the abbreviated SHA1's that have started to get more common in the kernel commit logs work as links in
gitk too, just the way a full 40-character SHA1 link works.

For a test-case, I just pushed out my current top-of-tree that finally
pushed me over the edge. I've seen this before, but I couldn't really
force me to do anything about it until now.

So to see this in action, do

	gitk v2.6.26..6ef190c

on the current kernel repo, and notice that "Commit ee1e2c82 ("IPoIB:
Refresh paths .." thing, where we want that 'ee1e2c82' to be a link even
though it's not a full SHA1.

Of course, the matching could be better, it will now accept any random 6+
character sequence of hex characters, even if they are surrounded by
characters that make it clear that it's not a SHA1 ("Haahahhaaaaaa!"
would find the 'aaaaaa' and if you have a commit that starts with that,
link to it ;)

I know nothing about tcl/tk, but will comment anyway:

It's a shame that tcl/tk regular expressions don't appear to support anchoring matches against word boundaries (ie. "\b").

If so, a regexp like:

 [regexp {\b[0-9a-f]{4,39}\b} $id]

would mostly eliminate that kind of false positive. But from my reading of the wiki[1], looks like there's no "\b" escape sequence. Nor does it look like tcl/tk has support for lookahead/lookbehind assertions which could be used to the same effect.



Cheers,
Wincent
