Seems like a reasonable extension of the "--abbrev=0" behavior.

You can probably just squash the related documentation in with this
patch. Also, maybe some tests in t6120? It doesn't look like we test
--abbrev=0, either; if you are feeling especially charitable, it might
be good to add some tests for it, too.

This covers the case when we do have a commit to show. The exact-match
case is handled elsewhere, and I wondered what would happen if you
passed "--long", but:

You cover that here. Good.

Why strncmp here? If I pass "--abbrev=+10", shouldn't that be an error?

What happens if you pass the option multiple times? I'd expect later
ones to override earlier ones. For "--abbrev=0 --abbrev=10" this just
works, because they both store the value in the abbrev variable. But you
store simple_abbrev as a separate variable.

What do these do?

  1. --abbrev=10 --abbrev=+

  2. --abbrev=+ --abbrev=10

  3. --abbrev=0 --abbrev=+

The first one will respect simple_abbrev, since it avoids calling
show_suffix at all. Good. The second one will do the same. We probably
need to reset simple_abbrev to 0 whenever we see another --abbrev. The
third one will not respect simple_abbrev, because we never enter the "if
(abbrev)" conditional. We probably need to reset "abbrev" to something
non-zero when we set simple_abbrev.

I.e.:

diff --git a/builtin/describe.c b/builtin/describe.c
index 3a5c052..532161e 100644
--- a/builtin/describe.c
+++ b/builtin/describe.c

Another alternative would be to stuff the simple_abbrev flag into
an unused value of "abbrev" (say, -2), but that is probably a little
less obvious than just resetting them together as above.
