The same things obviously apply to git-cvsimport and other scripts
calling git-hash-object a lot.

I *obviously* hate this patch, as it makes this Porcelain
command to be aware of the internal representation too much.

Me too.  I think its bad enough that fast-import knows the
internal representation of a packfile.  And its plumbing!
 

I wonder if letting fast-import handle the object creation is an
option, though.

I agree.  This is *exactly* what fast-import was built for.  It
really would be the better tool to use here.  Much better than
reinventing the wheel.  Its already been invented twice for you
in Git (normal object creation path and fast-import path).  No
need to do it a third time.
