I wanted to revisit and close this ticket I started almost a year ago:

I think it'll suffice to check for a tarball download + an empty tag
prefix + len(version) > 12. A hash can be looked up at any length as
long as it's match is unique, therefore the length of 12 is a soft
requirement. I didn't pull it out of thin air, though; it's from an
early version of git / mercurial of making 12 a lower bound until
better algorithms arose.
Does this sound ok? If so, then I can commit my changes and close the ticket.
Hi Sean:
My mythtv-core.25 and mythweb.25 ports use 8 character short hashs.
The Myth project commonly refers to commits using just 8 chars. It
would make my life simpler if I didn't have to tack on the extra 4.
