Description

Solbuild will accept a partial hash for a git source.

Both yaml snippets below will build:

name       : x264
version    : 2025.06.08
release    : 21
source     :
    - git|https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264.git : b35605ace3ddf7c1a5d67a2eb553f034aef41d55
name       : x264
version    : 2025.06.08
release    : 21
source     :
    - git|https://code.videolan.org/videolan/x264.git : b35605a
