True.  

Presumably you could force some stability without sacrificing line
length limit by using --abbrev=12 instead of --full-index but I do
not think it is such a big deal.  But it does look odd that we use
a special/single-purpose option --full-index to control the length
only for those two object names on the "index" line, when all the
other object names we see are controlled with the --abbrev option.
