Hit copper pipe when cutting drywall

I'll spare you all the details and lessons learned, but I was cutting drywall to hide wires behind TV with a rotozip and accidently bumped the hot water line.

It is not leaking at all. Should I be worried?

One more reason I like copper better than PEX. You might have created an indoor swimming pool if that was PEX.

Doesn't look like something to loose sleep over.

If you're an*l like some of us you could sand that clean and fill with solder.
