This allows multiple paths to be specified on stdin.
Ok. List of paths is certainly a good thing to have.
In addition, if you are enhancing cat-file to spew chunked
output out, I suspect that there should be a mode of operation
for hash-object that eats that data format. IOW, this pipe
git-cat-file --batch <list-of-sha1 |
git-hash-object --batch
should be an intuitive no-op, shouldn't it?
