I'd think I would word this
sha1-array: implement oid_array_contains_nondestructive
as for this patch it is not relevant what we we'll be using it for

What about naming it oid_array_linear_lookup instead?
That would still have the common "lookup" in the name and
the "linear" should be enough to scare away the casual
user. The non-destructive sounds scary.
