Jay Soffian 0c47695a69 Add log.abbrevCommit config variable
Add log.abbrevCommit config variable as a convenience for users who
often use --abbrev-commit with git log and friends. Allow the option
to be overridden with --no-abbrev-commit. Per 635530a2fc and 4f62c2bc57,
the config variable is ignored when log is given "--pretty=raw".

(Also, a drive-by spelling correction in git log's short help.)

--pretty[=<format>]::
--format=<format>::
Pretty-print the contents of the commit logs in a given format,
where '<format>' can be one of 'oneline', 'short', 'medium',
'full', 'fuller', 'email', 'raw' and 'format:<string>'. See
the "PRETTY FORMATS" section for some additional details for each
format. When omitted, the format defaults to 'medium'.
+
Note: you can specify the default pretty format in the repository
configuration (see linkgit:git-config[1]).
--abbrev-commit::
Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
name, show only a partial prefix. Non default number of
digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
diff output, if it is displayed).
+
This should make "--pretty=oneline" a whole lot more readable for
people using 80-column terminals.
--no-abbrev-commit::
Show the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object name. This negates
`--abbrev-commit` and those options which imply it such as
"--oneline". It also overrides the 'log.abbrevCommit' variable.
--oneline::
This is a shorthand for "--pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit"
used together.
--encoding[=<encoding>]::
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
defaults to UTF-8.
--notes[=<ref>]::
Show the notes (see linkgit:git-notes[1]) that annotate the
commit, when showing the commit log message. This is the default
for `git log`, `git show` and `git whatchanged` commands when
there is no `--pretty`, `--format` nor `--oneline` option given
on the command line.
+
By default, the notes shown are from the notes refs listed in the
'core.notesRef' and 'notes.displayRef' variables (or corresponding
environment overrides). See linkgit:git-config[1] for more details.
+
With an optional '<ref>' argument, show this notes ref instead of the
default notes ref(s). The ref is taken to be in `refs/notes/` if it
is not qualified.
+
Multiple --notes options can be combined to control which notes are
being displayed. Examples: "--notes=foo" will show only notes from
"refs/notes/foo"; "--notes=foo --notes" will show both notes from
"refs/notes/foo" and from the default notes ref(s).
--no-notes::
Do not show notes. This negates the above `--notes` option, by
resetting the list of notes refs from which notes are shown.
Options are parsed in the order given on the command line, so e.g.
"--notes --notes=foo --no-notes --notes=bar" will only show notes
from "refs/notes/bar".
--show-notes[=<ref>]::
--[no-]standard-notes::
These options are deprecated. Use the above --notes/--no-notes
options instead.
