truncate hash to 8 characters #5

Closed ozten closed 12 years ago

Suggested by @mmayo and @lloyd

We should shorten the hash in urls to 8 characters.

Hashes are always scoped to a filename, so we probably don't need an entire hash for uniqueness.

This has some other nice properties - middleware can handle SHA or MD5 hashes, since they are indistinguishable truncated to 8 characters.

Also food for thought: 10 chars would allow for use of a unix timestamp unaltered. (i.e. the rails default)

Updated docs. Hardcoding to 10 digits. Probably want this to be configurable at some point...

In v0.0.6. v0.0.7 tag coming for another tweak.
