Sure. I wasn't sure if you actually liked my direction or not, so I was
mostly just showing off what the completed one would look like.
Here it is as an incremental on top of lt/abbrev-auto. I also tweaked
the math a bit to round-up more aggressively, and commented it more (I
could also just make the math look exactly like Linus's, counting up
until hitting an expected collision. I dunno if that is more clear).

Subject: [PATCH] find_unique_abbrev: move logic out of get_short_sha1()
The get_short_sha1() is only about reading short sha1s; we
do call it in a loop to check "is this long enough" for each
object, but otherwise it should not need to know about
things like our default_abbrev setting.
So instead of asking it to set default_automatic_abbrev as a
side-effect, let's just have find_unique_abbrev() pick the
right place to start its loop. This requires a separate
approximate_object_count() function, but that naturally
belongs with the rest of sha1_file.c.
