CommitObject with short hash value?

[sergeyhush]

I am trying to get a commit object using a short hash value, the code below does not work:
repo.CommitObject(plumbing.NewHash("abc123"))
This assumes that there is a full hash that starts with abc123.....
Is there a way, short of iterating repo.CommitObjects(), to do what I wanted?

Short hash are kind of porcelain operations, for the users, since this is a library to be used programmatically, the use of short hashes is not very useful.

But will be great having a function to search this, if someone requires to resolve short hashes.

#599 includes a request to add behavior for parsing short hashes. Closing this as duplicate.
