Description

This works:
/compare/d40cdb7ded29d1f406a2575ee03030b32f6d7114...2964016d5ae44fb587b96802f4e2bceadff6b2ee

This doesn't but probably should:
/compare/d40cdb7...2964016

This doesn't but probably should:
/compare/v1.1.1...v1.1.2

Basically anything that is commitish should compare with assumption 7 chars in the commit sha is enough to ensure uniqueness.

Supporting short hashes is related to https://github.com/src-d/go-git/issues/602, since Gitea uses go-git to check if the reference exists.

@saitho Do you know why though you can see a commit with a short commit hash? E.g. https://try.gitea.io/richmahn/test/commit/f713fac works for me

Hmm... haven't tried that yet. Maybe that's one doesn't rely on go-git? I'll look into that. :)

I wonder if it has to do something in the likes of a git log | grep <short hash> or something to then find the long hash from the output?

I just pushed a commit to the #6991 PR which adds the ability to use the commit SHA.
