From: Peter Collingbourne Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2010 20:04:40 GMT Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Truncate the SHA1 part of the submodule name to 7 characters Message-ID: <1270325080-22951-3-git-send-email-peter@pcc.me.uk> In-Reply-To: <20100327094427.GA30216@progeny.tock> The rationale is that a submodule naming clash is a highly infrequent event (as compared to a file naming clash) so we can minimise the ugliness of generated submodule names by using a smaller number of characters.
