Not only that.  

The older one had two, duplicated abbrev, and your fix reduces it to once, but we do not want any abbrev there.

-- >8 -- [PATCH] git-revert: Revert revert message to old behaviour

When converting from the shell script, based on a misreading of the sed invocation, the builtin included the abbreviated commit name, and did _not_ include the quotes around the oneline message.

This fixes it.
[jc: with a fix for the typo/thinko spotted by Linus, and also
 removing the unwanted abbrev at the beginning.]
