There's only a single caller left of sha1_to_hex(), since everybody
that has an object name in "unsigned char[]" now uses hash_to_hex()
instead.
This case is in the sha1dc wrapper, where we print a hex sha1 when
we find a collision. This one will always be sha1, regardless of the
current hash algorithm, so we can't use hash_to_hex() here. In
practice we'd probably not be running sha1 at all if it isn't the
current algorithm, but it's possible we might still occasionally
need to compute a sha1 in a post-sha256 world.
Since sha1_to_hex() is just a wrapper for hash_to_hex_algop(), let's
call that ourselves. There's value in getting rid of the sha1-specific
wrapper to de-clutter the global namespace, and to make sure nobody uses
it (and as with sha1_to_hex_r() in the previous patch, we'll drop the
coccinelle transformations, too).
The sha1_to_hex() function is mentioned in a comment; we can easily
swap that out for oid_to_hex() to give a better example. Also
update the comment that was left stale when we added "struct
object_id *" as a way to name an object and added functions to
convert it to hex.
The function is also mentioned in some test vectors in t4100, but
that's not runnable code, so there's no point in trying to clean it
up.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an
unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations
and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public
License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses,
compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus
Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/
including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to
the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that
list the current status of various development topics to the mailing
list. The discussion following them give a good reference for
project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very
first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker"
and the name as (depending on your mood):
random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not
actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a
mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the
dictionary of slang.
"global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually
works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
"goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
