Makes sense.

The implication here is that textconv_object should be handling its own
errors and dying, and the return is always "yes, I converted" or "no, I
did not". Which I think is the case.

I wondered at first why we needed to set exp_type here; shouldn't we
already be expecting a blob if we are doing textconv? But then I see
this is really about the fall-through in the switch (which we might want
an explicit comment for).
Which made me wonder: what happens with:
git cat-file --textconv HEAD
It looks like we die just before textconv-ing, because we have no
obj_context.path. But that is also unlike all of the other --textconv
switches, which mean "turn on textconv if you are showing a blob that
supports it" and not "the specific operation is --textconv, apply it to
this blob". I don't know if that is worth changing or not.
