Subject: Add "get_sha1()" helper function.
X-Git-Tag: v0.99~671
X-Git-Url: https://git.lorimer.id.au/gitweb.git/diff_plain/3c249c950649a37f2871a8b193f01a0640a20aef?hp=3c249c950649a37f2871a8b193f01a0640a20aef

Add "get_sha1()" helper function.

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.

For example, this commit has been done with

git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD

instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
