I suspect that was primarily because --abbrev-commit was only to
abbreviate the commit object names on the log header, and --abbrev
was to abbreviate the object names seen in the --raw output.  These
days, even --raw output seems to abbreviate by default, so --abbrev
alone lost its usefulness quite a bit.
