I missed this last time but we could also replace `get_sha1` with `get_oid`

Good point!

I replaced this locally and force-pushed, but there is actually little
chance of this patch series being integrated in a form with which I would
be comfortable.

Is there any chance of this moving forward? I was hoping to resend my path to
abbreviate command names on top of this.
