I see that you made the type parsing to happen earlier than the
previous round (which used to do the size first and then type).
Not a problem, though. Just something I noticed...

This _might_ have some performance impact in that strbuf_addch()
involves strbuf_grow(*, 1), which does "does it overflow to
increment sb->len by one?"; I would say it should be unmeasurable
because the function is expected to be used only on loose objects
and you shouldn't have very many of them without packing in your
repository in the first place.
I guess Peff's c1822d4f (strbuf: add an optimized 1-character
strbuf_grow, 2015-04-04) may want to teach strbuf_addch() to use his
new strbuf_grow_ch(), and once that happens the performance worry
would disappear without this code to be changed at all.

You didn't have this check in the earlier round, and this new one is
correct, I think. Good eyes to spot this potential problem.
Thanks.
