We do not want an ellipsis displayed following an (abbreviated) SHA-1 value. The days when this was necessary to indicate the truncation to lower-level Git commands and/or the user are bygone. However, to ease the transition, the ellipsis will still be printed if the user sets the environment variable GIT_PRINT_SHA1_ELLIPSIS to "yes".
