Yes I prefer this too, iirc that's the format suggested on the last
discussion on that topic.
The date here will satisfy sorting, and the hash is quite handy to
looking changes since the last working commit
(for example: git log -p short-hash..)
Should the date remain the creation date while the hash is updated, or
should the date be bumped up too?

And add some hints on a wiki page explaining what format is expected and
how to get it.
