It's not clear why this change is done separately from patch 3/5 (cat-file: teach cat-file a '--allow-unknown-type' option). Given how small this patch is and considering how closely related it is to the actual introduction of the --allow-unknown-type option, it might make sense to fold it into 3/5.
