Yes. Except for the kernel the default git commit abbreviation is
borderline too short. Seven hex-chars can easily alias with a few more
pulls from me: git will not give aliases at the time it gives a
shorthand, but a month or two later the abbreviated commit may no
longer be unique.

So I suggest using --abbrev=12 or similar.

What I ended up writing your commit as was this:

ext4: fix compile with CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR disabled

Commit 5dabfc78dced ("ext4: rename {exit,init}_ext4_*() to
ext4_{exit,init}_*()") causes

fs/ext4/super.c:4776: error: implicit declaration of function
‘ext4_init_xattr’

when CONFIG_EXT4_FS_XATTR is disabled.

It renamed init_ext4_xattr to ext4_init_xattr but forgot to update the
dummy definition in fs/ext4/xattr.h.
