I think the sentences here are a bit jumbled. The aim is to make the
next patch easier (your 2nd sentence), and how we accomplish that is by
factoring out the description of commits (1st sentence) *and* by
outputting to a strbuf because we need to postprocess the output further
when describing a commit as part of describing a blob (3rd sentence).
