I tend to agree. The Documentation/glossary-contents.txt makes it
clear that "object name" is the most formal term to use here, with
synonyms like "object identifier" and much less formal "hash". For
now, "SHA-1" is good enough, even though "object name" is acceptable
if we really want to future-proof. But I would suspect that people
would colloquially keep saying Shaah-one even when we start using
different hash function(s), so such a future-proofing may not be
worth it ;-)
