Hi Bjorn, Indeed "git config --global log.abbrevCommit true" did the job, afterwards "git log" shows 12 digits hash.
Personally I prefer having the full id in the "normal" git log May I ask, out of interest, why ? according to my understanding, the 12 digits ID should show a unique patch (at least for kernel git trees, which is primarily where I use it)

Thanks, Bjorn.
I added in /root/.gitconfig ... [core] abbrev = 12 [pretty] fixes = Fixes: %h (\"%s\") ...
Still, "git log" shows more than 12 digits, like: commit 0a528ee9a52007984fa60b0c4ef1f39fdf5edf8d Author: Tariq Toukan <tariqt@mellanox.com> Date: Wed Jun 7 16:26:15 2017 +0300

Does it work for you ?
See the section on "Commit Formatting" in git-log(1). The config only changes the abbreviated id, while the default log format use the full id. You can do "git log --abbrev-commit", or set "log.abbrevCommit" to change this default.
Personally I prefer having the full id in the "normal" git log, but like to use the abbreviated id in fixes tags and other one-line references to commits. This is done by using %h instead of %H in the format specifier.
