[Bf-committers] Material naming

[Thomas Beck]

Hi, I think we got your point.

Bastien recently committed https://developer.blender.org/
rB49c2dbc5dbaefd3a2ff950dbb33e6190885d347e which should restore the 30
characters you previously loved... just a heads up in case you didn't
noticed it.

Best regards,
Thomas
