I just copied the idea for the 2nd for loop from gitopt, since it makes maintenance easier when there are lots of possibilities. We only have 6 (soon 7) to worry about for --pretty= here, so hard coding lengths probably makes more sense.

Yes, but only one die() message left now :)

Subject: [PATCH] commit: allow --pretty= args to be abbreviated

Unlike the original one, this one only does prefix matches, so
you can't do --pretty=er anymore :)

This one really works with and without the gitopt changes.
