No, I don't think so, maybe you just don't agree with me, which is fine.

git show HEAD | head -1 | awk '{print $2}'

but that shows the full commit id. You probably only want to use the
first 8 digits of that. Other git tools get things right when the first

use just the first 8 digits that has not returned the commit I was
after.
