'i' is not very descriptive, maybe add a comment? (I realize it is just walking through the char*s one by one)

Maybe this function (together with the change in the while below) could go into hex.c as "int progressively_cmp_oids" that returns the position at which the given oids differ?

sha1_to_hex_r has very similar code, though it iterates less and covers both cases in the loop body.

That is the actual reason I propose moving this function (or a variant thereof) to hex.c as there we can share code.
