It is a bit funny that they do not exactly align. "object name" aka "object ID" "$type object name" aka "$type ID" for type in (commit, blob, tree, tag) In any case, we should add "object ID" and other "$type ID" to the glossary, if you are going to use it very often. We have entries for spelled out "identifier" but I do not think "ID" is there yet. Thanks.
