[PATCH 0/2] format-patch: introduce option to suppress commit hashes

git format-patch is often used to create patches that are then stored in
version control or displayed with diff.  Having the commit hash in the
"From " line usually just creates diff noise in these cases, so this
series introduces --no-hash to set that to all zeros.

The idea for this series came from Dominic Hargreaves in Debian bug
#635663.

This series is based off of next so as not to conflict with the
conversion of struct object to struct object_id.

Careful readers will note that this option is referred to by both
"no_hash" and "zero_commit".  I felt that the latter made more sense as
an option in struct rev_info, as it's strictly more accurate, while the
former is less accurate but more friendly to humans.  Of course, this
can be changed if reviewers feel it to be undesirable.
