Yes, but --no-abbrev sets it to zero.  Which is OK, though, as I found
out after actually testing your patch this time.  A closer look at
find_unique_abbrev() in sha1_name.c reveals that the function returns
the full hash if len is either 40 or 0.

So you could initialize abbrev to zero and avoid the magic constant 40
there altogether.  (Is this still nitpicking or already bikeshedding? ;)
