Looks like the same spirit.
I've not tested, but doesn't the:
    ($line =~ /(?:\s|^)[0-9a-f]{12,40}(?:[\s"'\(\[]|$)/i &&
at the top short cut the rest of the regex?

I read it as "the line should have something that looks like a commit id 
of 12+ char to process further".

So smaller commit id would not be checked.
Did I miss something?


Basically, my proposal is to replace this 12 by a 5 in order to accept 
smaller strings before checking if it looks well formatted or not.
