[PATCH] Expose object ID computation functions.

This patch makes the first half of write_sha1_file() and
index_fd() externally visible, to allow callers to compute the
object ID without actually storing it in the object database.

[JC demangled the whitespaces himself because he liked the patch
 so much, and reworked the interface to index_fd() slightly,
 taking suggestion from Linus and of his own.]

+==================
+v0.1, May 2005
+
+NAME
+----
+git-hash-object - Computes object ID and optionally creates a blob from a file.
+
+
+SYNOPSIS
+--------
+'git-hash-object' [-t <type>] [-w] <any-file-on-the-filesystem>
+
+DESCRIPTION
+-----------
+Computes the object ID value for an object with specified type
+with the contents of the named file (which can be outside of the
+work tree), and optionally writes the resulting object into the
+object database.  Reports its object ID to its standard output.
+This is used by "git-cvsimport-script" to update the cache
+without modifying files in the work tree.  When <type> is not
+specified, it defaults to "blob".
