Description
The SHA1 of an image is quite long, it would be nice to have a shortcut just as in git: the first 8-10 characters of the hash.
For example `97bdbe337edb25031be6ba9fd499ec19cf3ccaad` could be referenced by `97bdbe337e`. If the short hash is not unique send back an appropriate HTTP status code (404?).

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing how image URLs resolve SHA1 hashes and how missing images are returned; implement unique 8–10 character hash references and define the response for collisions, then verify both full and short URLs plus the non-unique case.
