I suspect you may not even have to pass the generated string around if you did so. Instead, you could pass the commit to log_write_email_headers() instead of sha1_to_hex(commit->object.sha1) from show_log(), and use the sha-1on the unix "From " line, and inside "if (opt->mime_boundar)", you can ask format_commit_message("%f") to come up with a filename.
