This adds a config called `revsets.short-prefixes`, which lets the
user specify a revset in which to disambiguate otherwise ambiguous
change/commit ids. It defaults to the value of `revsets.log`.
I made it so you can disable the feature by setting
`revsets.short-prefixes = ""`. I don't like that the default value
(using `revsets.log`) cannot be configured explicitly by the
user. That will be addressed if we decide to merge the `[revsets]` and
`[revset-aliases]` sections some day.
I plan to add `revsets.short-prefixes` and `revsets.immutable` soon,
and I think `[revsets]` seems like reasonable place to put them. It
seems consistent with our `[templates]` section. However, it also
suffers from the same problem as that section, which is that the
difference between `[templates]` and `[template-aliases]` is not
clear. We can decide about about templates and revsets later.
This is a convenience optimization to improve the default user
experience, since `jj log` is a frequently run command. Accessing the
help information explicitly still follows normal CLI conventions, and
instructions are displayed appropriately if the user happens to make a
mistake. Discoverability should not be adversely harmed.
Note that this behavior mirrors what Sapling does [2], where `sl` will
display the smartlog by default.

Unlike Mercurial, this isn't a template keyword/function, but a config knob.
Exposing graph_width to templater wouldn't be easy, and I don't think it's
better to handle terminal wrapping in template.
I'm not sure if patch content should be wrapped, so this option only applies
to the template output for now.
Closes#1043
The outermost "op-log" label isn't moved to the default template. I think
it belongs to the command's formatter rather than the template.
Old bikeshedding items:
- "current_head", "is_head", or "is_head_op"
=> renamed to "current_operation"
- "templates.op-log" vs "templates.op_log" (the whole template is labeled
as "op-log")
=> renamed to "op_log"
- "template-aliases.'format_operation_duration(time_range)'"
=> renamed to 'format_time_range(time_range)'
Supported values are,
- `none` for no author information,
- `full` for both the name and email,
- `name` for just the name,
- `username` for username part of the email,
- (default) `email` (or any other gibberish for that matter) for the full email.
Can be used with tools like taplo-lsp to show hints & validation in
editors/IDEs. Won't apply automatically to config files until it's
submitted to schemastore.org, but in the meantime it can be used via a
schema directive
(https://taplo.tamasfe.dev/configuration/directives.html#the-schema-directive)
or other manual config mechanism.
Context in #879.
