Basically the standard abbreviated 8\ncharacter SHA1 would take up too much screen real estate. You can still\nuse a 4 character SHA as long as there aren't any commits in your tree\nthat start with the same 4 characters (the possibility of collisions\nexists with 8 character ones too, it's just less likely).\n\n> \n> What does \"Blame Parent Commit\" mean?\n> \n\nIt means that you have decided that the commit that it currently has\nselected is not interesting and you want to see the previous commit that\nmodified that section (e.g. it was just some formatting change and you\nwant the commit that actually added the code in question).\n\n> Thanks!\n> \n> Josh\n> -- \n> To unsubscribe from this list: send the line \"unsubscribe git\" in\n> the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org\n> More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html\n"},{"id":"153340","messageId":"m3iq176vh2.fsf@localhost.localdomain","threadId":"25429","inReplyTo":"4CB48C5F.2030007@gmail.com","subject":"Re: Documentation for git gui blame","fromName":"Jakub Narebski","fromEmail":"jnareb@gmail.com","sentAt":"2010-10-12T19:50:50Z","receivedAt":"2010-10-12T19:50:50Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"jnareb@gmail.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2706?v=4"},"body":"Chris Packham writes:\n\n> On 12/10/10 09:12, Joshua Jensen wrote:\n> > Is there any documentation for git gui blame \n> \n> Not sure but it's displaying the same info as git blame so start with\n> man git-blame.
