[Monotone-devel] Monotone ID shortener

[Christof Petig]

Do you want to have easily rememberable version numbers in monotone? 
Simply use sed to shorten the output (or the agraph, etc.).

Here is a small C++ program which accesses a monotone database and 
outputs a sed script like:

s/00034855f9573489f08ddd9ba957d39f2b36b4ea/00034/g
s/0003bfa6a8fd2d33b803b336d24694b7354ec781/0003b/g

s/006ccb597c0597649ae3e8658f77cb4c2c5cb1eb/006/g
... (5400 lines for the current development tree)

use like:
monoshort "monotone --db monotone.db" > short.sed
monotone log | sed --file short.sed | less

Enjoy

PS: No, _I_ did _not_ design the semantics of underflow/uflow, I only 
struggled to implement them.
