[PATCH] Define constants for lengths of object names

From: brian m. carlson <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 23:00:57
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

Using preprocessor constants rather than hardcoded numbers is considered a
good programming practice.  Provide two constants, GIT_OID_RAWSZ and
GIT_OID_HEXSZ, which are the lengths of an SHA-1 object name in bytes and
hex digits, respectively.  These names are the same as those used by
libgit2.
