+ * --------
+ * -----------------------------------------
+ * int print_callback(const struct object_id *oid,

+ * struct sha1_array hashes = OID_ARRAY_INIT;
+ * struct object_id oid;
+ *
+ * // Read objects into our set
+ * while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash))
+ * oid_array_append(&hashes, &oid);
+ *
+ * // Check if some objects are in our set
+ * while (read_object_from_stdin(oid.hash)) {
+ * if (oid_array_lookup(&hashes, &oid) >= 0)
+ * printf("it's in there!\n");
+ *
+ * // Print the unique set of objects. We could also have
+ * // avoided adding duplicate objects in the first place,
+ * // but we would end up re-sorting the array repeatedly.
+ * // Instead, this will sort once and then skip duplicates
+ * // in linear time.
