[PATCH 2/2] Overly simplistic fix for issue with sha1_file_name() and switching repos

This is not a final fix, just an illustration of how synchronizing the "char *base" holding the object directory does in fact fix the test added by the previous patch. A real fix will explicitly reset "base" when needed, without comparing with get_object_directory() on every invocation. A real fix will also have to deal with the other similar issue in this (and possibly other) file(s).
