2014-01-07 Thread Jeff King
Since 798c35f (get_sha1: warn about full or short object names that look like refs, 2013-05-29), a 40-hex sha1 causes us to call dwim_ref on the result, on the off chance that we have a matching ref. This can cause a noticeable slow-down when there are a large number of objects. E.g., on linux.git

Since commit 25fba78, we turn off the object/refname ambiguity warning using a global flag. However, we never restore it. This doesn't really matter in the current code, since the program generally exits immediately after the function is done, but it's good code hygeine to clean up after ourselves.
