OK, how about this as an implementation: you add a lua hook that's
used when printing a revision id. It could take a hash as an
argument, containing the revision and all certs that apply to that
revision (or something similar). Then change the code to use that
hook, and add an option so that users can turn it off (to get the full
hash). Obviously the default would be to display the revision id.
Then people can experiment with truncated hashes, nicknames, and all
sorts of things (provided they can be constructed from the certs on
that one revision, so that limits things a bit).
