You can put this alias in your .gitconfig to generate teh correct format: [alias] fixes = log --abbrev=12 -1 --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")' And your git is older so you need to add [core] abbrev = 12 To your config too. The 8 character abbrev is known to have collisions already for linux-kernel (but probably not in rdma-core) Jason -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-rdma" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
