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".
