Here it is very strange. The problem is that git shell is no more case sensitive.

I have tried git commit -F ...
and I got error:unkown switch 'f'

So somehow the problem is that all the commands are lowercased, and this explains why pretty format %H is interpreted as %h so that sha abbreviated form is used.

Now the question is: how to restore normal case sensitive command parsing ?

Thanks Marco

P.S: Please, at least answer this last question ;-)
