With 660231aa (block-sha1: support for architectures with memory
alignment restrictions, 2009-08-12), blk_SHA1_Update was modified to
access 32-bit chunks of memory one byte at a time on arches that
prefer that:
#define get_be32(p) ( \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 0) << 24) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 1) << 16) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 2) << 8) | \
(*((unsigned char *)(p) + 3) << 0) )
The code previously accessed these values by just using htonl(*p).
Unfortunately, Michael noticed on an Alpha machine that git was using
plain 32-bit reads anyway. As soon as we convert a pointer to int *,
the compiler can assume that the object pointed to is correctly
aligned as an int (C99 section 6.3.2.3 "pointer conversions"
paragraph 7), and gcc takes full advantage by converting the get_be32
calls back to a load and bswap and producing a whole bunch of
unaligned access traps.
So we need to obey the alignment constraints even when only dealing
with pointers instead of actual values. Do so by changing the type
of 'data' to void *. This patch renames 'data' to 'block' at the same
time to make sure all references are updated to reflect the new type.

Thanks again for catching that. Here's a reroll.
