Here’s the uncontroversial half.

Patch 1 is new: it explains why scripts that mean HEAD need to explicitly
say so.  The remaining patches are just like before, except tests pass a
HEAD arg now.  Sorry about the breakage, and thanks for catching it.

Jonathan Nieder (4):
  Documentation/shortlog: scripted users should not rely on implicit
    HEAD
  t4201 (shortlog): guard setup with test_expect_success
  t4201 (shortlog): Test output format with multiple authors
  shortlog: Document and test --format option

Will Palmer (1):
  pretty: Respect --abbrev option
