Right.  But maybe we shouldn't be scanning for packfiles every

a context where we actually *expect* to not find said object like
half of the time... say in git-add/update-index.  ;-)

Yes, we could definitely skip the re-lookup if we had a "don't really 
care, I can recreate the object myself" flag (ie anybody who is going to 
write that object)
