Oops, I shouldn't say anything about --full-index in the second point
to reduce confusion.
Let me list some combination here:
* none of --abbrev --no-abbrev --full-index -> default short index
* --abbrev --full-index -> full-index
* --full-index --abbrev -> full-index
* --abbrev --no-abbrev -> full-index
* --no-abbrev --abbrev=[n] -> shortened index to n char
So, we can't use full_index bit, because --no-abbrev can be defeated
by --abbrev, but --full-index will always win --abbrev.

I'm not planning for anything special when both --no-abbrev and
--full-index is given.
I'm planning for:
* BOTH --abbrev and --no-abbrev but NOT --full-index;
* BOTH --abbrev AND --full-index
Sorry for the confusion,
I hope it's clear now, and you could help me rephase a bit to reduce
confusion.
