Remove the need to have duplicated "if there is a change then feed null_sha1 and otherwise sha1 from the cache entry" for the "new" side of the diff by introducing two temporary variables to point at the object name of the old and the new side of the blobs.

This does not intend to change the meaning of the code in any way; just makes the result a bit easier to read.
