I started these patches with the intent of improving clone's behavior on corrupt objects, but my testing uncovered some other nastiness, including two infinite loops in the streaming code!. Yikes. I think 1-7 are good. We might want to tweak the die() behavior of patch 8, but I think it should come on top. Patch 9 has some pretty ugly performance implications. At the end of the series, all of the introduced tests pass except for one, which is that "git clone" may silently write out a bogus working tree entry. I haven't tracked that one down yet.
