This doesn't really explain what this patch is attempting to do. What
does "lengths already defined" mean? It's also misleading if taken
literally (as seen below).

Instead, you should say something about the purpose of the change. For
instance, explain that the change takes advantage of the abstraction
provided by hashcpy() rather than hardcoding knowledge about a
particular hash representation.

More below.

This can't be correct. hashcpy() copies the binary representation of a
hash (which is currently 20 bytes, as seen in the implementation of
hashcpy() in cache.h). The fact that this particular memcpy() is
copying 38 bytes should be a clue that something is different here. In
fact, for this case, 'hex' is a 40-character textual representation of
the hash, thus not suitable for hashcpy().

Same as above.
