I feel somewhat stupid to say this, especially after seeing many
people applaud this patch, but I do not seem to be able to even
build Git with this patch.  I am getting:

    common-main.o: In function `hashmap_get_size':
    /home/gitster/w/git.git/hashmap.h:260: multiple definition of `hashmap_get_size'
    fast-import.o:/home/gitster/w/git.git/hashmap.h:260: first defined here
    libgit.a(argv-array.o): In function `hashmap_get_size':
    /home/gitster/w/git.git/hashmap.h:260: multiple definition of `hashmap_get_size'
    fast-import.o:/home/gitster/w/git.git/hashmap.h:260: first defined here
    libgit.a(attr.o): In function `hashmap_get_size':
    ...

and wonder if others are building with different options or something..

I think this must become static inline like everybody else in this
file, at least.

I also wonder if this header is excessively inlining too many
functions without measuring first, but that is a different story.
