Linus Torvalds 3c249c9506 Add "get_sha1()" helper function. ...

This allows the programs to use various simplified versions of
the SHA1 names, eg just say "HEAD" for the SHA1 pointed to by
the .git/HEAD file etc.

For example, this commit has been done with

	git-commit-tree $(git-write-tree) -p HEAD

instead of the traditional "$(cat .git/HEAD)" syntax.
