[Patch v2 3/4] nmbug: replace hard-coded magic hash with git-hash-object

[david@tethera.net]

From: David Bremner <bremner@debian.org>

This is at least easier to understand than the magic hash. It may also
be a bit more robust, although it is hard to imagine these numbers
changing without many other changes in git.
