I'd rather have plumbing operate without filters (if it is possible),
so git-cat-file would not run prettyfilter, and git-show would run it.

Or at least detect if output is tty, so one can do something like
"git cat-file -p v1.0.0:gitweb/git-logo.png > git-logo.png" and get
expected result, while "git show v1.0.0:gitweb/git-logo.png" would
show the image.
