I share your disdain for the bare '40's in the code. But I think this
code is less clear than the previous version with the magic number.

Use len instead of strlen(str) here. It's faster and more correct.
But also get_short_sha1 is much heavier than get_sha1_hex and does not
seem appropriate here.

The semantic meaning of 'detached' seems less clear now if you have to
compare against an enumerated constant to determine the result. But
also, I do not see why you have to test '!= SHORT_NAME_NOT_FOUND' here
but you did not have to in the other instance.
I think it would be improved if you did this comparison in the
assignment of detached so 'detached' could keep its original boolean
meaning.
But anyway, having looked inside get_short_sha1, it really does seem
to do much more than you want here.
