This changed as part of 4b33e60201 (dir: convert struct > sha1_stat to use object_id, 2018-01-28). Perhaps it would likewise make > sense to stop saying "SHA-1" here, and just say "hash" (or even "object > id", though TBH I think the fact that the hash is the same as an > object-id is largely an implementation detail). I do not quite get your "though TBH", though. I do agree with you that it is an implementation detail that an object is named after the hash of its contents, so saying "compute object name" probably makes sense in more context than "compute hash" outside the narrow parts of the code that actually implements how object names are computed. So I would have expected "because TBH", not "though TBH". Anyway. Nipunn, can you fix both of them in the same commit, as they are addressing a problem from the same cause (i.e. we are no longer SHA-1 centric). Thanks.
