Ok, the master branch moved forward and I recognized that too late,
hence the two patches.

I though about that too, but I wasn't sure whether the substring of the
SHA1 ID would always be 7 characters long. I fear that is choses to be
as short as possible but as long as necessary to be unique. Which would
then mean that it changes again at an aribitrary point.

Best thing woulod be if the mtd people would just tag a commit with a
new release number. I'll write them and see if I can make them do that
:)
