“This makes it easier to test for equality of a commit in the TODO list
and one of SHORTUPSTREAM, SHORTHEAD or SHORTONTO.”

I don't know why 7 is a good number. It was there from the beginning:

% git show 1b1dce4b:git-rebase--interactive.sh G -C1 \=7
                git rev-list --no-merges --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit \
                        --abbrev=7 --reverse $UPSTREAM..$HEAD | \
                        sed "s/^/pick /" >> "$TODO"

Bye, Jörg.
