Linux kernel source tree

Introduce git-resolve.sh, a tool that resolves short git commit IDs to their full SHA-1 hash. This is particularly useful for navigating references in commit messages and verifying Fixes tags. When faced with ambiguous commit IDs or imprecise references in messages, this tool can help by resolving commit hashes based on not just the ID itself but also the commit subject, making it more robust than standard git rev-parse. This is especially valuable for maintainers who need to verify Fixes tags or cross-reference commits. Unlike proposals to add dates to Fixes tags (which would break existing tooling), this script provides a way to disambiguate commits without changing the established tag format. The script includes several features: - Resolves short commit IDs to full SHA-1 hashes - Uses commit subjects to disambiguate between multiple potential matches - Supports wildcard patterns in subjects with ellipsis (...) - Provides a force mode to attempt resolution by subject when ID lookup fails - Includes comprehensive self-tests Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org> Reviewed-by: Kees Cook <kees@kernel.org> Link: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250311165336.248120-1-sashal@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@linuxfoundation.org> |

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
