Probably also because of different numbers of hexadecimal digits?

And heads have head revision and change logs too!

That's because you've stuck with that old and boring concept of
"lightweight branches". People who grasped heads novelty enjoy it very
much. Well, the same can be said about the people who didn't drop
everything to endeavor into those "lightweight branches" - they enjoy
classy branches with not the lesser passion than the other two groups.


Well, but the talk was about mirroring and syncing potentially
incompatible changes. Do lightweight branches help with this?
