Subject: Fix "--abbrev=xyz" for revision listing
Date: Sat, 27 May 2006 12:24:30 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.64.0605271218310.5623@g5.osdl.org> (raw)


The revision argument parsing was happily parsing "--abbrev", but it 
didn't parse "--abbrev=<n>".

Which was hidden by the fact that the diff options _would_ parse 
--abbrev=<n>, so it would actually silently parse it, it just 
wouldn't use it for the same things that a plain "--abbrev" was 
used for.

Which seems a bit insane.

With this patch, if you do "git log --abbrev=10" it will abbreviate the 
merge parent commit ID's to ten hex characters, which was probably what 
you expected.
