How do you disambiguate a '42deadbeef' in the changelog = part of a commit as being a commit ID, as opposed to being an address in a tra= ceback or something similar? Yes, I know you only change the ones that actually = map to a commit ID, but I'd not be surprised if by now we've got enough commits = and stack tracebacks in the git history that we'll birthday-paradox ourselves= into a false-positive in an automatic replacement. (And it's OK to say =22the 3 stack tracebacks in changelogs we just mangl= ed can just go jump=22, but it does need at least a few seconds consideration..)= --==_Exmh_1320652337_7081P Content-Type: application/pgp-signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Exmh version 2.5 07/13/2001 iD8DBQFOt44xcC3lWbTT17ARAqdSAKD8BKeDESG5NM0dZXjFR9OMibTRYgCfZP8A 6Xk6cPcaVy+tbJOahk+ING8= =/1pP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --==_Exmh_1320652337_7081P--
