I'm not that familiar with git internals involved, so here is updated
patch with added paragraph about "df->sha1_valid=0 means files from
worktree with unknown sha1", and appropriate excerpt from Jeff's post.
That's the most reasonable I could come up with.

Here is how I would describe it.

    fill_textconv(): Don't get/put cache if sha1 is not valid
    
    When blaming files in the working tree, the filespec is marked with
    !sha1_valid, as we have not given the contents an object name yet.  The
    function to cache textconv results (keyed on the object name), however,
    didn't check this condition, and ended up on storing the cached result
    under a random object name.

FWIW, I think that is a good description.
