I'd like to see a bit more of an explanation of the new loose
object format you are reading in the commit message.  We have a
long history of explaining *why* the code behaves the way it does
in our commits, so we can look at it in blame/log and understand
what the heck went on.
 

I mentioned in the cover letter sent as patch 0/5, indeed I should
have mentioned it in the commit message again.

An uncompressed loose object is just an uncompressed loose object:

loose object = deflate(typename + <space> + size + '\0' + data)
uncompressed object = inflate(loose object)
