The readers of the history may still want to see "improve how"
explained in the log.
The name of the hash function is "SHA-1", not "SHA1".
Also to people who look up "object name" in the glossary,
the details of which hash function is applied on what to
compute "object name" is not important (the fact that the
name is meant to be an unique identifier for the contents
stored in the object is).
or something?
