Actually you didn't make it a local variable. You made it a parameter to be passed around, which is even better ;-).

Wouldn't we prefer to see this parameter also to be a commit objet, not a preformatted hex string? The only exception would be if you are going to introduce a future callsite that does not have a commit object but may know the commit object name, but if you are not going to do so, then...
