The log message is a bit lacking. I would have expected "git-show command can take ':/prefix' as an argument to name a commit whose subject begins with the prefix, but git-foobar command didn't and instead errored out. This fixes it so that ':/prefix' syntax can be used for any command that wants to take a commit object name".
