Sometimes long commit hashes can be ambiguous even when providing
several digits from its abbreviation.
Add a script that resolves such ambiguity by also considering the
commit subject line.
This also allows users to use shorter commit ID prefixes than normally
required, since we can correctly identify the intended commit using the
subject line as additional context.
In force mode (--force), you can even omit a valid commit ID prefix
entirely - the script will try to find a commit matching just the
subject line.
