I think this one (unlike 1/2) makes sense, but a single letter -s feels a
bit too vague.  Always spelling in long option "--short" so that it
matches "%(refname:short)" in for-each-ref might be better, I would think.

Especially given that the expected use case is primarily in scripts not
from the command line, being more explicit and easier to read has value
over being short and easier to (mis)type.
