"--oneline" means a lot more than "do not use full object name", and
I think we are on the same page with our shared goal of not negating
everything "--oneline" means.  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.
