That we can do this is somewhat curious....

Note that this was a comment on the sha1_object_info() API, which,
unlike read_sha1_file() API, does not seem to interact with the
"replace" mechanism.  I _think_ that needs to be rethought by
checking each call site, but for the purpose of this series, I think
this is the best we can do in this patch.

Will queue the whole series.

Thanks.
