+--abbrev-commit::
+ Instead of showing the full 40-byte hexadecimal commit object
+ name, show only handful hexdigits prefix. Non default number of
+ digits can be specified with "--abbrev=<n>" (which also modifies
+ diff output, if it is displayed).

--encoding[=<encoding>]::
The commit objects record the encoding used for the log message
in their encoding header; this option can be used to tell the
command to re-code the commit log message in the encoding
preferred by the user. For non plumbing commands this
defaults to UTF-8.
