Hi Thomas,

Yeah, the fixed size itself if not fixed, depends on the output
generated by the script (which shoulb be a constant length string? At
least, the function could pad/cut the string to a constant length). But
8^26 seems like a huge number to identify a commit out of a fixed number
of commits (which won't be more that 10000). Collisions won't likely
happen, according to linus...

Hm no, that should not happen...

Ok, but against which repo should I base my patch? As I'm fairly new,
I'm still confused about which one is "the" libftdi...

autohell? hm, you name it...
