6 chars is indeed short, 7 is git's default as usually long enough,
although I've encountered collisions that require 8 chars. [And google
has proved that you can have a collision across the entire hash,
although that is harder to generate.] I generally use 8 or so when
writing commit messages. Fortunately, even if a collision is introduces
later, someone that is motivated enough can still resolve the collision
by filtering out any collisions that resolve to non-commits, and among
the remaining colliding SHA1 focus on the one that has a commit date
which predates the message with the reference.
