As documented by "man git-rev-parse", the "--short" option shortens
commit sha1sums to at least "length" characters, equal to core.abbrev if
that is specified in ~/.gitconfig.
The development processes of some other open source projects require
having a
[core]
abbrev = 12
in the .gitconfig, which is incompatible with the way in which docker
wants PKG_GIT_SHORT_COMMIT.
On my system, I get these errors:

Since --short supports a length argument, use that to break the
dependency on the system .gitconfig.
