pretty: add abbrev option to %(describe)
The %(describe) placeholder by default, like `git describe`, uses a
seven-character abbreviated commit object name. This may not be
sufficient to fully describe all commits in a given repository,
resulting in a placeholder replacement changing its length because the
repository grew in size. This could cause the output of git-archive to
change.
Add the --abbrev option to `git describe` to the placeholder interface
in order to provide tools to the user for fine-tuning project defaults
and ensure reproducible archives.
One alternative would be to just always specify --abbrev=40 but this may
be a bit too biased...
