[PATCH] bisect: print abbrev sha1 for first bad commit

When bisect finds the first bad commit it prints the full commit hash followed by " is the first bad commit". That's not terribly readable, and its rather silly especially considering the next line contains the full hash again. So change bisect to print the unique abbrev hash and then "is the first bad commit".
