 1. Determine if this is a duplicate of a open issue, if duplicate: link to earlier issue, apply `duplicate` label and close the issue.
 1. Make a best-effort judgement if this is a reasonable feature to put into Renovate. If in doubt, let the core maintainers decide.

 Some code hosting systems have restrictions on the branch name lengths, this option lets you get around these restrictions.
-You can set the `hashedBranchLength` option to a number of characters that works for your system and then Renovate will generate branch names with the appropriate length by hashing `additionalBranchPrefix` and `branchTopic`, and then truncating the hash so that the full branch name (including `branchPrefix`) has the right number of characters.

 Example: If you have set `branchPrefix: "deps-"` and `hashedBranchLength: 12` it will result in a branch name like `deps-5bf36ec` instead of the traditional pretty branch name like `deps-react-17.x`.
