get_sha1_hex(): do not read past a NUL character
Previously, get_sha1_hex() would read one character past the end of a null-terminated string whose strlen was an even number less than 40. Although the function correctly returned -1 in these cases, the extra memory access might have been to uninitialized (or even, conceivably, unallocated) memory. Add a check to avoid reading past the end of a string. This problem was discovered by Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> using valgrind.
