I solved bullet point #9 from issue #212729: GHOP #172: Write a Version Control API backend for the Mercurial RCS, which means that backends can now provide shortened versions of the 'revision' property in commits and items - the changeset identifier in Mercurial. The attached patch implements this by having a new function that is used by the two new API functions from commit 101478. Please update versioncontrol, apply the patch, and enjoy readable commit messages :)
