[PATCH 2/3] git-cat-file: use sha1_object_info() on '-t'.

From: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
Date: Jun 28, 2005, 06:58 UTC
Message-ID: <7vfyv3x90a.fsf_-_@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>
In-Reply-To: <7vpsu7x94t.fsf@assigned-by-dhcp.cox.net>

When trying to find out the type of the object, there is no need to uncompress the whole object. Just use sha1_object_info().
