I'd suggest rewording it to:

    'obj-is' is the object name of the last commit determined to be common

I do not mind too much if it used colloquial "SHA-1" in place of
"object name", but what is common is not the name but the object the
name refers to, so "the last commit" part is a moderately strong
suggestion.

Thanks.
