Re: [PATCH] dir.c: fix comments to agree with argument name

Happy to update it to use the object based terminology, though I'm not
sure how the desired final result differs from above.
I believe I said "compute oid" in the comment - and it is all in one commit.

gitgitgadget appears to have shown a range-diff from the previous
iteration, but the latest iteration is still one commit.
