sha1-file: modernize loose object file functions
The loose object access code in sha1-file.c is some of the oldest in
Git, and could use some modernizing. It mostly uses "unsigned char *"
for object ids, which these days should be "struct object_id".
It also uses the term "sha1_file" in many functions, which is confusing.
The term "loose_objects" is much better. It clearly distinguishes
them from packed objects (which didn't even exist back when the name
"sha1_file" came into being). And it also distinguishes it from the
checksummed-file concept in csum-file.c (which until recently was
actually called "struct sha1file"!).
This patch converts the functions {open,close,map,stat}_sha1_file() into
open_loose_object(), etc, and switches their sha1 arguments for
object_id structs. Similarly, path functions like fill_sha1_path()
become fill_loose_path() and use object_ids.
The function sha1_loose_object_info() already says "loose", so we can
just drop the "sha1" (and teach it to use object_id).

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-.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).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
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):
