All that said, I'm not sure based on our previous discussion why we
can't just call stream_blob_to_fd(). Looking at show_blob_object(), most
of the logic is about recording the tree-context of the given name and
using it for textconv. But since we know we are feeding a bare oid,
that would never kick in. So I don't know if there's any value in
sharing this function more widely in the first place.
It is very nice that we do not need to touch this code move at all.
Thanks, as usual, for a dose of sanity.
