Method find_change_by_prefix

atomic-repository/src/repository/changes.rs:1005–1025

Find a change by hash prefix. This searches through all stored changes to find one whose hash starts with the given prefix. Useful for CLI commands that allow abbreviated hashes. # Arguments `prefix` - The hash prefix (case-insensitive, at least 2 characters) # Returns `Ok(Some(hash))` - Found a unique matching change `Ok(None)` - No change matched the prefix `Err(_)` - Multiple changes match
