For the sake of web engine indexing...

NGINX commit logs sometimes reference mercurial changeset IDs, like:

$ hg export -r 9248 --template "{node}\n{desc}\n"

Optimized chain link usage (ticket #2614).

Previously chain links could sometimes be dropped instead of being reused,
which could result in increased memory consumption during long requests.

A similar chain link issue in ngx_http_gzip_filter_module was fixed in
da46bfc484ef (1.11.10).

Based on a patch by Sangmin Lee.



To get access to those node identifiers through git, use the following:

$ git clone https://github.com/nginx/nginx && cd nginx

$ git fetch origin refs/notes/hg:refs/notes/hg

$ git config core.notesRef refs/notes/hg


Now you will see notes in e.g. git log, making it easy to search for & 
identify commits in question:
