Because I'm used to having the full id in the log, I guess. And it takes
up a line anyway, so there is nothing to save.  And I rarely/never copy
the id from a full log.  If I want to refer to the id, then I use some
formatting macro for that. Like the --pretty=fixes from the config
example,

But this is all subjective.  Whatever works for you is fine :-)
