Probably in cache.h, close to where it defines is_null_sha1(),
hashcmp(), and friends, is the right place.

There are few places that say 42 (because we have 40-hex at the
beginning of line, followed by a single whitespace and then
something should follow so line length must be at least 42
chars), so hunting them all would be a lot of work, but I do
think this is a worthwhile cleanup.
