Doing a quick benchmark of this new interface and git-annex's use of it, git
checkout of a 1 gigabyte file with git-annex providing the smudge filter took:

    19 seconds using the smudge interface
    11 seconds using smudgeToFile
    0.1 seconds with smudgeToFile and annex.thin set
         (while also saving 1 gb of disk space!)

So around 2x speed improvement due to not needing to pipe the file content
through the filter, even without git-annex's annex.thin tricks.
