If I use --no-abbrev, do I get 0 or 40 hash chars? I didn't actually test it, but I suspect an "if (!abbrev) abbrev = 40;" is needed somewhere.

Why do you use PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN here? I think the old option parsing code lazily relied on invalid options being found out by add_pending_commit() later. We can be lazy again by leaving invalid option handling to parse_options(); sure, it changes the error message, but for the better.
