Hi Junio,

I recently noticed that:

    $ make >pout 2>&1
    $ ./git version
    git version 2.11.0.286.g109e8a9
    $ git describe
    v2.11.0-286-g109e8a99d
    $

... for non-release builds, the commit part of the version
string was still using an --abbrev=7.

I don't know that it actually matters too much (since it will
show as many as necessary, thus the RFC), but it caused me to
look twice. ;-)

ATB,
Ramsay Jones
