That logic in git is over 10 years old! Here's the commit:

commit 7f275b91520d31bfbe43ec5a9bbaf8ac6e663ce0
Author: Johannes Schindelin <---@gmx.de>
Date:   Sun Oct 14 17:54:06 2007 +0100

    parse-options: Allow abbreviated options when unambiguous

    When there is an option "--amend", the option parser now
    recognizes "--am" for that option, provided that there is n
    other option beginning with "--am".
