, like this: adc83b19e793491b1c6ea0fd8b46cd9f32e292fc_5_5
<SHA>
is the SHA1 hash of the filename.<old>
is the line number before the change.<new>
is the line number after the change.For example, if a commit (<COMMIT_ID>
) deletes line 463 in the README, you can comment on the deletion by referencing line 463 in the old file:
