As an aid for reviewers, please include the version number of the
patch, such as [PATCH vN] where "N" is the revision. format-patch's -v
option can help automate this.

It is helpful to reviewers if you can describe here, below the "---"
line, how this version of the patch differs from the previous one.

I think Junio already mentioned[1] that this change (and its
corresponding documentation update above) likely is undesirable, but I
just wanted to mention that you would typically want to split such a
change out to a separate patch since it's unrelated to the overall
intention of the current patch. More below...

It's a bit ugly that this special-cases only "update" with the
"platform_" abstraction. It _might_ be preferable to generalize this
for all the SHA1 operations. If so, that's something you'd want to do
as a separate preparatory patch specifically aimed at adding this new
abstraction layer.

(In fact, even if you decide only to special-case "update", that still
might deserve a separate preparatory patch since it's a conceptually
distinct change from the overall focus of this patch, and would make
this patch less noisy, thus easier to review.)
