[PATCH] Add log.abbrev-commit config option

Add log.abbrev-commit (and log.abbrevCommit synonym) config option as a convenience for users who often use --abbrev-commit with git log and git show (but not git whatchanged, as its output is more likely to be parsed even though it is not technically plumbing).

Allow the option to be overridden via --no-abbrev-commit.
(Also, a drive-by spelling correction in git log's short help.)
