Detecting a git hash uses a regular expression to detect a hex sha for a fixed set of {master, HEAD}. This precludes using tags, branch names, relative paths (e.g., HEAD~N, etc.). Rather than
trying to make a hash detection scheme that is bullet proof, this introduces a flag, that the user sets, that forces cloc to interpret all values in a diff as git hashes allowing for all valid git hash mechanisms.
There's a distinct possibility that the documentation should be cleaned up. Should it only apply to diff? SHould it apply more broadly?
