We don't care about blobs, or any object other than commits, but in order to find the type of object, we are parsing the whole thing, which is slow, specially in big repositories with lots of big files. There's no need for that, we can query the object information with sha1_object_info(); Before this, loading the objects of a fresh emacs import, with 260598 blobs took 14 minutes, after this patch, it takes 3 seconds.
OK.
This is the way fast-import does it. Also die if the object is not found (like fast-import). Signed-off-by: Felipe Contreras <redacted> ---
