For temporary references, like during a code review, you can use the first "several" digits of the hash. For a project of FreeBSD's size, "several" is probably 11-13. But in permanent contexts, like commit logs, you should use the full hash. When somebody views the commit on a platform like Github, Github will automatically turn it into a hyperlink, and display only the first "several" digits. -Alan
