 I feel like I'm playing one of those "what's wrong with this picture"
 games.

 A) Where did those spaces in the fingerprint come from? Looks like commit
 a330cdc6f.
 B) The fingerprint doesn't have enough hexes.
 C) Did I miss any?

 Also, if we keep the $ it would be good to add a hint in about how your
 shell will probably mangle the $ if you put it on the commandline, e.g.
 {{{
 + +
 +    Finally, note that if you specify a fingerprint on the commandline,
 +    you will need to escape the dollar sign or your shell will likely
 +    mangle it.
 }}}

 But that said, fingerprints aren't confusable with nicknames. Should we
 start dropping the $ more thoroughly?
