This is a fairly straightforward patch to allow "get_sha1()" to
also have shorthands for blob objects in the current index.
I sometimes want to have something like that:
uzeisberger@io:~/gsrc/linux-2.6$ git cat-file blob v2.6.16:Makefile
That is not a shortcut for objects in the current index, but for blobs
in written trees.
That's already present in the "master". You are responding to a
wrong message ;-).
