Can't git decide to report a longer string in case of collisions of
abbreviated id ?

Tried this for 2 characters, and git forcefully reported 5 chars:
$ git log -1 --abbrev=2 origin/master --format='Fixes: %h (\"%s\")'
Fixes: a2f9c (\"version: 19.02-rc4\")

I did not find any collisions with 12 characters abbreviated commitid, but
I am not sure enforcing the check on exactly 12 characters is a good idea
in the long run.

Not an awk expert (this could be done in pure shell, but this is a
different story :-p), but I would see something like:

for fixtag in $fixtags; do
  echo $fixtag | awk 'length($2) < 12 { print $2 }';
done
