[PATCH v2 42/42] merge-one-file: compute empty blob object ID

From
brian m. carlson <sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
Date
May 2, 2018, 00:26 UTC
Message-ID
<20180502002610.915892-43-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>
In-Reply-To
<20180502002610.915892-1-sandals@crustytoothpaste.net>

This script hard-codes the object ID of the empty blob. To avoid any problems when changing hashes, compute this value by calling git hash-object.
