Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] sha1_file: implement changes for "cat-file --literally -t"

> add "sha1_object_info_literally()" which is to be used when
> the "literally" option is given to get the type of object
> and print it, using "sha1_object_info_extended()".
>
> add "unpack_sha1_header_literally()" to unpack sha headers
> which may be greater than 32 bytes, which is the threshold
> for a regular object header.
>
> modify "sha1_loose_object_info()" to include a flag argument
> and also include changes to call "unpack_sha1_header_literally()"
> when the literally flag is passed. Also copies the obtained
> type to the typename field of object_info.
>
> modify "sha1_object_info_extended()" to call the function
> "sha1_loose_object_info()" with flags.
