| 12 | DESCRIPTION | |
| 13 | ----------- | |
| 52a22d1e LAS |
14 | A "patch ID" is nothing but a SHA1 of the diff associated with a patch, with |
| 15 | whitespace and line numbers ignored. As such, it's "reasonably stable", but at | |
| 16 | the same time also reasonably unique, ie two patches that have the same "patch | |
| 17 | ID" are almost guaranteed to be the same thing. | |
| 7fc9d69f | 18 | |
| 52a22d1e | 19 | IOW, you can use this thing to look for likely duplicate commits. |
