OK. But why do we need our own buffer? oid_to_hex() provides four of them for us, so the body could become just:

	if (patchlen)
		printf("%s %s\n", oid_to_hex(result), oid_to_hex(id));

Right? Well, this buffer comes from f97672225b («Add "git-patch-id" program to generate patch ID's.», 2005-06-23), which predates the introduction of the four-buffer feature in dcb3450fd8 («sha1_to_hex() usage cleanup», 2006-05-03).

And with 30e12b924b («patch-id: make it stable against hunk reordering», 2014-04-27) the function's name became a bit misleading, because it stopped being responsible for flushing the hash calculation.

So perhaps this on top? (Or squash it in, if you like, but it's certainly not worth a re-roll.)

Subject: [PATCH] patch-id: inline flush_current_id()

The function hasn't been flushing the hash calculation since 30e12b924b ("patch-id: make it stable against hunk reordering", 2014-04-27), and there is no need for a private copy of the second hexadecimal hash value since dcb3450fd8 ("sha1_to_hex() usage cleanup", 2006-05-03) added support for up to four sha1_to_hex() results to be used in the same printf(3) call, which oid_to_hex() inherited. So print both hash values directly and get rid of the function with the outdated name.
