These changes introduce a "--literally" option to "cat-file" to
allow us to read the type of any loose object, mostly the ones
created using the "--literally" option of "hash-object".
For now it works with the "-t" option as :
git cat-object -t --literally <object_sha>
Can be made to work with "-e" and "-s" option in the future.
The first patch adds "sha1_object_type_literally()" which is
called by "cat-object" to print the type.
The second patch adds the "--literally" option to "cat-file".
These patches are in response for the patches made here :
