Merge branch 'ar/unconfuse-three-dots'
Ancient part of codebase still shows dots after an abbreviated object name just to show that it is not a full object name, but these ellipses are confusing to people who newly discovered Git who are used to seeing abbreviated object names and find them confusing with the range syntax. * ar/unconfuse-three-dots: t2020: test variations that matter t4013: test new output from diff --abbrev --raw diff: diff_aligned_abbrev: remove ellipsis after abbreviated SHA-1 value t4013: prepare for upcoming "diff --raw --abbrev" output format change checkout: describe_detached_head: remove ellipsis after committish print_sha1_ellipsis: introduce helper Documentation: user-manual: limit usage of ellipsis Documentation: revisions: fix typo: "three dot" ---> "three-dot" (in line with "two-dot").
