Note that this function has a semantic (but not textual) conflict with
lt/auto-abbrev in 'next', as it sets DEFAULT_ABBREV to -1.
The resolution is:
diff --git a/diff.c b/diff.c
index cab811e..4c09314 100644
--- a/diff.c
+++ b/diff.c

return hex;
This logic could be pushed down into the find_unique_abbrev() code
(where it _would_ just cause a textual conflict). I preferred to keep it
up here because other callers could conceivably want to handle the
non-repo case in some different way (e.g., by not abbreviating at all).
