[PATCH 00/11] Large blob fixes

These patches make sure we avoid keeping whole blob in memory, at least in common cases. Blob-only streaming code paths are opened to accomplish that.

I don't quite like having three different implementations for checking sha-1 signature (one on git_istream, one on packed_git and the other one in index-pack) but I failed to see how to unify them.

Making archive-zip work with stream can be difficult. But at least tar format works. Good enough for me.

Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy (11):
  Add more large blob test cases
  Factor out and export large blob writing code to arbitrary file
    handle
  cat-file: use streaming interface to print blobs
  parse_object: special code path for blobs to avoid putting whole
    object in memory
  show: use streaming interface for showing blobs
  index-pack --verify: skip sha-1 collision test
  index-pack: split second pass obj handling into own function
  index-pack: reduce memory usage when the pack has large blobs
  pack-check: do not unpack blobs
  archive: support streaming large files to a tar archive
  fsck: use streaming interface for writing lost-found blobs
