This should make --pretty=oneline a whole lot more readable for people using 80-column terminals.

Note that --abbrev=DEFAULT_ABBREV was on by default before, but it only affected the printing of the Merge: header). Let me know if anybody doesn't want the default behavior to change. Also note that --abbrev without arguments is not supported by rev-list, but --no-abbrev is supported if you want the old behavior.

Originally I made abbrev affect the commit sha1 output regardless of the pretty setting, but that broke some tests and I figured it's most/only useful for --pretty=oneline (at least that's why *I* want it :)

I've never felt need for abbreviating commit object names, so I only had the abbrev variable to determine how the merge parents are shown. If you want to abbreviate the commit object names as well, you _could_ do independent precision for parents and commits, but that would be overkil. So I'd rather see a switch to turn abbreviation for commits on, perhaps like this:

        $ git-rev-list --pretty=oneline --abbrev-commit -n 3 master
        454a35b Add documentation for git-imap-send.
        ba3c937 blame.c: fix completely broken ancestry traversal.
        6cbd5d7 Tweaks to make asciidoc play nice.

        $ git-rev-list --pretty=oneline --abbrev=4 --abbrev-commit -n 3 master
        454a Add documentation for git-imap-send.
        ba3c9 blame.c: fix completely broken ancestry traversal.
        6cbd5 Tweaks to make asciidoc play nice.

Otherwise you might break Porcelains and people's scripts that read from --pretty or --header output.

Sounds good, I like your patch. I'm not thrilled with the length of the '--abbrev-commit' switch, but I guess that's what aliases are for :>
