And here is a re-roll of the --show-signature speedup on top (i.e., the
point of the series in the first place), adjusted to use
get_commit_buffer.

Subject: reuse cached commit buffer when parsing signatures
When we call show_signature or show_mergetag, we read the
commit object fresh via read_sha1_file and reparse its
headers. However, in most cases we already have the object
data available, attached to the "struct commit". This is
partially laziness in dealing with the memory allocation
issues, but partially defensive programming, in that we
would always want to verify a clean version of the buffer
(not one that might have been munged by other users of the
commit).
However, we do not currently ever munge the commit buffer,
and not using the already-available buffer carries a fairly
big performance penalty when we are looking at a large
number of commits. Here are timings on linux.git:
[baseline, no signatures]
$ time git log >/dev/null
real 0m4.902s
user 0m4.784s
sys 0m0.120s
[before]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m14.735s
user 0m9.964s
sys 0m0.944s
[after]
$ time git log --show-signature >/dev/null
real 0m9.981s
user 0m5.260s
sys 0m0.936s
Note that our user CPU time drops almost in half, close to
the non-signature case, but we do still spend more
wall-clock and system time, presumably from dealing with
gpg.
An alternative to this is to note that most commits do not
have signatures (less than 1% in this repo), yet we pay the
re-parsing cost for every commit just to find out if it has
a mergetag or signature. If we checked that when parsing the
commit initially, we could avoid re-examining most commits
later on. Even if we did pursue that direction, however,
this would still speed up the cases where we _do_ have
signatures. So it's probably worth doing either way.
