PSA: You can safely refer to those long "commit-ish" identifiers using just the first 7 or 8 chars (eg `88113a64`) without real risk of collision. Let alone in examples / gists!

#10It has always bugged me that git commit --amend Doesn't automatically resign (or fail to resign if the key isn't available) a signed git commit message. Anytime there is a non-verified git commit message in my history you can be sure it's because I was a dummy on the original message.
Wait, seriously? I sign all my commits as habit and I `--amend` regularly. If this means my signature histories are broken…
