Oops! I'll be more careful with my format-patch in the future.

I renamed 'i' to 'pos' in my v3.

You're right that sha1_to_hex_r is similar, in fact I based my work on
it. There are a few reasons I didn't combine the two implementations:
* I wanted to be sure my patch was only touching the code for
disambiguating short-shas. Modifying code in hex.c would touch many more
code paths.
* I realize that the extra branch in my version is slower than the
branchless loop body in sha1_to_hex_r, so either I would slow that
method or make the method call more complicated by returning two chars
at a time.
* I wanted to strongly hint that the method should be inlined, but I'm
not sure how to guarantee that happens across a linker boundary without
doing strange things in header files.
I'm happy to revisit this after my patch is complete, since I think
there are interesting trade-offs to consider here. I'd prefer to keep
this discussion separate from the focus on disambiguation.
Thanks,
