While I understand that as commit identifiers are used to refer
to both a tree state /and/ a change (diff) to said state, I find
the ability to $ git log 88bc8332eb..HEAD -- lisp/url/url-ftp.el
just too convenient to disregard.
Sure, I’d be just as happy to $ git log bug:19594..HEAD, but I
doubt that there’ll be /that/ amount of integration between Git
and Debbugs in the foreseeable future, not to mention that I do
not always check the reports I file against the latest master.
(Usually, I update my Emacs working copy just a few times a
month, and only take a brief scan over the Git developments
between the latest update and the current master, checking for
any /obvious/ signs that the issue was fixed in the meantime.)
