Also definitely post-v1.7.10 material, but I figure many people will
be interested.  Since it's such a central part of much of git, it's
also quite important that it gets tested heavily.

I am interested but this is a material not beyond 'pu'.  Until it
learns to be nice on platforms that do not like unaligned accesses
or use big endian, that is.

Umm, nice how?  It leaves in the old version for those platforms.  I can
perhaps make it #error if we are unhappy about the user's platform, but
that's about it.  Testing for endianness is possible, but testing for
unaligned access risks SIGBUS and thus requires spawning a helper
program.
