If we go this route, this new _with_context variant should be used in
patch 1, too.

This seems a little gross. Who is responsible for allocating the
context? Who frees it? It looks like we duplicate it in cmd_grep. Which
I think is OK, but it means all of this context infrastructure in
object.[ch] is just bolted-on junk waiting for somebody to use it wrong
or get confused.  It does not get set, for example, by the regular
setup_revisions code path.

It would be nice if we could just always have the context available,
then setup_revisions could set it up by default (and replace the "mode"
parameter entirely). But we'd need to do something to avoid the
PATH_MAX-sized buffer for each entry, as some code paths may have a
large number of pending objects.
