This is a 5 patch series built on `master`. I discovered these cleanups when I lifted code from sha1_file.c for fast-import.c (as I needed to read the pack I was writing and thus didn't have a nice sorted index to work with).
I'll probably follow this series with another one which libifies more of these functions to the point that I can actually use them from within fast-import.c, without having an index file. But I might first send partial pack mapping as I'm also doing that in fast-import.c right now.
In this series:
1/5 Reorganize/rename unpack_non_delta_entry to unpack_compressed_entry. 2/5 Reuse compression code in unpack_compressed_entry. 3/5 Cleanup unpack_entry_gently and friends to use type_name array. 4/5 Cleanup unpack_object_header to use only offsets. 5/5 Convert unpack_entry_gently and friends to use offsets.
