We just want to say the option negates only the "do not use full object name" aspect. "and the effect of abbreviating commit objects implied by other options, such as '--oneline'" may be a more verbose way to say the same thing, I would think, but that would be overkill. I would have expected that with common sense readers would think it would be crazy for --no-abbrev to override everything --oneline means, but if you found that the original risks such an interpretation, perhaps we would need to be more verbose and explicit. I dunno.
