Subject: [PATCH] update: abbreviate hashes to at least 7 characters

Abbreviations will be longer if needed to preserve uniqueness.

This makes it more consistent with `git rev-parse --short`,
https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew/commits, etc.

For example, instead of:

    Updated Homebrew from 40d1e9c2 to 90b9bdf4.

We see:

    Updated Homebrew from 40d1e9c to 90b9bdf.

See 0c48248b6555353c8d60b61973639c8423ce586c for the original
introduction of eight-character abbreviations.
