Hi,
the --abbrev option doesn't allow a 40 digit SHA1 output.

The following patch fixes this, and uses a IMHO more logical way to compute the abbrev parameter, so --abbrev=52 will still yield a 40 digit SHA1.

    use constant variable for storing "--abbrev=".  Use 40 and
    MINIMUM_ABBREV as bounds for --abbrev= argument.
