Comment on Colliding with the SHA prefix of Linux's initial Git commitparent

Comments

Presumably the problem is that these tools only take the abbreviated hash into account. Not also the subject:

Well the first mentioned script:

> Tools like linux-next's “Fixes tag checker”,

has `get_full_hash`[1] which uses the subject to search through the abbreviated matches.

Edit: And that check was added two weeks ago by Kees [2].
