Guix pull has the wrong error message when the commit-id for the "--commit" parameter is too short:
$>guix pull --commit=d20647722ad36024a3a0b6e1e75c1ba49b9f61d Updating from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... guix pull: error: Git error: unable to parse OID - contains invalid characters Instead of that error-message it should complain that the OID is too short. Even better, it should just accept a shortened OID and use it, as long as it is unique. Note: When there really is a wrong character used, this error message is also correctly shown: $>guix pull --commit=d20647722ad36024a3a0b6e1e75c1ba49b9f61dz Updating from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... guix pull: error: Git error: unable to parse OID - contains invalid characters Note: If the OID is long enough and well-formed, but just non-existent, the error message is adequately correct: $> guix pull --commit=d20647722ad36024a3a0b6e1e75c1ba49b9f61dd Updating from Git repository at 'https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/guix.git'... guix pull: error: Git error: object not found - no match for id (d20647722ad36024a3a0b6e1e75c1ba49b9f61dd) Björn
