[PATCH 1/2] sha1_name: stop hard-coding 40-character hex checks

In two places, get_sha1_basic() assumes that strings are possibly sha1 hexes if they are 40 characters long, and calls get_sha1_hex() in these two cases. This 40-character check is ugly and wrong: there is nothing preventing a revision or branch name from being exactly 40 characters. Replace it with a call to the more robust get_short_sha1().
