I think I asked because I noticed that the `shortest()` template function always returned the full hash and things were really slow (I assume that was because of the byte string on line 173, not here). Does it work for you? (I'm fine with adding a TODO about fixing it if you see the same brokenness.)

equivalent to `return pycompat.sysstr(hex(n))` (would be using utf-8 instead of ascii, but that shouldn't matter)?

Call it `gittreemanifest` in that case?
