Subject: [PATCH v2 22/30] rev-parse: add an --output-object-format parameter

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email-masked]>
Date: Sun, 1 Oct 2023 21:40:26 -0500

From: "Eric W. Biederman" <[email-masked]>

The new --output-object-format parameter returns the oid in the
specified format.

This is a generally useful plumbing facility.  It is useful for writing
test cases and for directly querying the translation maps.
