From: Han Xin <redacted> If we want unpack and write a loose object using "write_loose_object", we have to feed it with a buffer with the same size of the object, which will consume lots of memory and may cause OOM. This can be improved by feeding data to "stream_loose_object()" in a stream. Add a new function "stream_loose_object()", which is a stream version of "write_loose_object()" but with a low memory footprint. We will use this function to unpack large blob object in later commit. Another difference with "write_loose_object()" is that we have no chance to run "write_object_file_prepare()" to calculate the oid in advance. In "write_loose_object()", we know the oid and we can write the temporary file in the same directory as the final object, but for an object with an undetermined oid, we don't know the exact directory for the object. Still, we need to save the temporary file we're preparing somewhere. We'll do that in the top-level ".git/objects/" directory (or whatever "GIT_OBJECT_DIRECTORY" is set to). Once we've streamed it we'll know the OID, and will move it to its canonical path.
I think this new logic doesn't play well with batched-fsync. Even through we don't know the final OID, we should still call prepare_loose_object_bulk_checkin to potentially create the bulk checkin objdir.

+We expect this loose_object_path call to return a path in the bulk fsync object directory. It might not do so if we don't call prepare_loose_object_bulk_checkin. In the new test case introduced in (7/7), we seem to be getting lucky in that there are some small objects (commits) earlier in the packfile, so we go through write_loose_object first.
