Subject: [PATCH v13 01/27] sha1-name.c: add `get_oidf()` which acts like `get_oid()`

From: Thomas Gummerer <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 25 Feb 2019 23:16:05 +0000

From: Paul-Sebastian Ungureanu <[email-masked]>

Compared to `get_oid()`, `get_oidf()` has as parameters
a pointer to `object_id`, a printf format string and
additional arguments. This will help simplify the code
in subsequent commits.
