This is wrong, of course. We still need to call get_sha1, but just need
to not die. So it's more like this (totally untested, naturally):

diff --git a/builtin/cat-file.c b/builtin/cat-file.c
index 54db118..44add8c 100644
--- a/builtin/cat-file.c

-       if (get_sha1_with_context(obj_name, 0, sha1, &obj_context))
