git merge-file knows how to merge files on the file system already. It would be helpful, however, to allow it to also merge single blobs. Teach it an `--object-id` option which means that its arguments are object IDs and not files to allow it to do so.
Since we obviously won't be writing the data to the first argument, imply the -p option so we write to standard output.
We handle the empty blob specially since read_mmblob doesn't read it directly and otherwise users cannot specify an empty ancestor.
