Sometimes, especially during tests of low level machinery, it is
handy to have a way to disable lazy fetching of objects.  This
allows us to say, for example, "git cat-file -e <object-name>", to
see if the object is locally available.

Nit: perhaps s/locally/already locally/ is better?

I forgot to mention that the new flag is missing a documentation entry
in Documentation/git.txt. Perhaps something like

    --no-lazy-fetch::
        Do not fetch missing objects. Useful together with `git cat-file -e
        <object-name>`, for example, to see if the object is already
        locally available.

?

Wonderful.  Thanks for an extra set of eyes.
