Sigh, I found --abbrev first from deferencing the following paragraph
from the git-log man page:

   The [git-log] command takes options applicable to the
   git-rev-list(1) command to control what is shown and how, and
   options applicable to the git-diff-tree(1) commands to control how
   the changes each commit introduces are shown.

In any case, --abrev is mentioned in git-rev-list(1)'s man page, and
specifying it doesn't cause git-log to bomb out with an illegal option
name.  It just apparently ignores it as far as I can tell.
