Hmm, I _think_ we still use mmap for that (which is why 748af44c needs
to compare the sha1 before and after).

But

 1) a one-pass calculation would presumably be a little (5%?) faster
 2) if there are smudge/clean filters or autocrlf involved, the
    cleaned-up file is backed by swap and this all becomes moot.
