It's more less than more more similar information. :-) git name-rev 921af2f1 will, in case that commit is not the head of some branch or a tag, show something like master~19 meaning the 19th parent of the current master branch's HEAD. When another commit is made on master, the very same commit will then be master~20. So it's a totally unstable numbering in contrast to revision numbers known from other VCSs. It's only value is that it's easier to type than a hash. > That works fine for small repositories but for GNU emacs this command > leads, at least on my 5 year old Laptop to a core dump.

Do you really need to show the log back into the 80ies? If not, use something like "--since 2years" in your git log invocation.
