The rest of the discussion aside, IMO it's a very strange reply. Though
I might be biased, given that a lot of my software-related discussions
are on platforms that linkify commit hashes.

Even so, is calling 'git show fe06f64b' too hard to do?

I would print its output on this occasion here, but in this case Git
says it's 'ambiguous'. So maybe Joao should elaborate.

I'm sorry it's fe06f643b2808b198bb58bda04a8c863e55a2a56, the

3 got lost in translation.

BTW I believe this is the commit that broke things, but it might have been

around this time.

    CC Mode: Fontify unbalanced quotes in unconstrained multiline strings, etc.
   
    ("Unconstrained" meaning that every string is multiline, without needing such
    special marking as used by Pike Mode.)
   
    * lisp/progmodes/cc-mode.el (c-pps-to-string-delim): Don't process the char
    before BOB.
    (c-multiline-string-check-final-quote): New function.
    (c-bc-changed-stringiness): New variable.
    (c-before-change-check-unbalanced-strings): Add handling for unconstrained
    multiline strings.
    (c-after-change-re-mark-unbalanced-strings): Add handling for unconstrained
    multiline strings.  Handle escaped double quotes more accurately.
