+What are the 7 digits of hex that git responded to the commit with?
We saw in part one of the tutorial that commits have names like this.
It turns out that every object in the git history is stored under
-such a 40-digit hex name. That name is the SHA1 hash of the object's
+a 40-digit hex name. That name is the SHA1 hash of the object's
contents; among other things, this ensures that git will never store
the same data twice (since identical data is given an identical SHA1
name), and that the contents of a git object will never change (since

It is expected that the content of the commit object you created while
following the example above generates a different SHA1 hash than
