Subject: [PATCH] Git.pm: fix documentation of hash_object
Message-ID: <1212351985-11682-1-git-send-email-LeWiemann@gmail.com>

```
The documentation of hash_object incorrectly states that it accepts a
file handle -- in fact it doesn't, and there is even a TODO comment
for this.  This fixes the documentation.

This should be implemented eventually, but in the meantime let's just
correct the documentation.

 The method can be called without any instance or on a specified Git repository,
 it makes zero difference.
