By that you mean that this behavior is to stay as is?

My reasoning is twofold:

- consistency between "git show commit" and "git show blob"

- "git show" is a user facing command, and as such should produce output
consumable by humans; whereas "git cat-file" is plumbing and should
produce raw data unless told otherwise (-p, --textconv).
