Then is there standard(?) way to do it? As for subversion > syntax such as "base r123456" or "ports r778899" is provided. And I > expect similar one is provided for git. Since a "git commit" has a hash, there is no nice number-that-always-goes-up to specify a commit; there **is** the hash, though, which might be b8a9c4c3b78aa58e289dd9212f399e3f6af690b0 That is a long and annoying string, and since *usually* there are no collisions, git provides "short hash" notation: a unique prefix of the commit hash is enough. In the specific repository I'm working in, b8a9c4c3b is enough: 9 characters instead of 40. In a different repo (FreeBSD ports, as it happens), asking for a short hash (of a different commit) gives me be24aaa957c8 so 12 characters. The commit before that one was ef537e763f17 which shows there is no nice number-that-always-goes-up property. To get the hash, use (for instance) `git log -1`; to get the shorter one, use `git log -1 --abbrev-commit`. You could add an alias ("slog", for short-log) adding `--abbrev-commit` if you always want to see the short hash; do note that the short hash can become *longer* later in history if a prefix collision does happen.
