Re: [PATCH v2] log: make --abbrev-commit's ellipsis configurable

So we introduce a new variable format.abbrevEllipsis that defaults to
true (previous behaviour).

How about format.hideAbbrevDots that defaults to false? Then you can write
in the config file:

    [format]
         hideAbbrevDots

(note: without '= true').

Even though I usually detest double negations (and I would count
hideAbbrevDots=false as one), the ability to set the non-default value of
a Boolean variable in this way trumps my taste.

By the way, should it be in [format] section? I thought that format.*
variables are about git-format-patch... Wouldn't it be better to put it
in [log] section?

On the other hand we have already format.pretty (but log.date and
log.showroot).  Nice consistency ;-(
