Yes. As you'll have noticed, this is an adversarial debate rather than
a constructive cooperation, and expecting me to put in unnecessary work
in order to assist my opponent in making a point against me is not
reasonable.
Surely it is a matter of plain ettiquette: for the writer to put in that
little extra bit of work himself, rather than forcing his readers to do
it. When writing, I always do this myself.
Besides, other people will read this post, and they'll have to remain
mystified, or put in the work themselves. Giving a cryptic, rather than
a meaningful, reference thus costs more time than it saves.
Besides[2], the next time we move to a new VCS, the reference will
become totally meaningless.
