man git-describe:
--abbrev=<n>
Instead of using the default 8 hexadecimal digits as the
abbreviated object name, use<n> digits.
There is one character missing from default or what am I missing?
The man page is wrong:
cache.h:#define DEFAULT_ABBREV 7
builtin-describe.c:static int abbrev = DEFAULT_ABBREV;
