That command currently prints the pax comment in tar archives if it looks like a SHA1 hash based on its length. It should continue to do so, and _also_ show longer hashes. Your change makes it _only_ show those longer hashes.

So it could check for all known valid hash lengths in turn, or accept any payload length between 40 and the_hash_algo->hexsz, or loosen up totally and show comments of any length.
