Change a mention of sha1 to OID and change the comment to a listing of functions discussed below, right now there's only one function, but subsequent commits will add more.

The last part after "That variable is:" makes no sense. Sent before
completing?
The function takes a repository, tree object name, a path in that
tree as input, and find the entry in the tree at the given path.
Its finding is returned in the fourth and fifth parameters as
struct object_id *oid
unsigned short *mode
By the way, I think somebody forgot to update the description while
inserting the "struct repository *" as the first parameter and that
is where the "third and fourth" in the original comes from.
