Writing that convinced me that (2) is actually quite a sane way to go.
The patch is below, which seems to work.
I arbitrarily picked the first 2048 bytes of the loose object. That's
1/32768 of the original. If we assume the compression ratio is stable
through the file (and it should be; the file is all zeroes), that should
generate 2MB of data should we need it (way more than we feed to our
"head -c" invocation).
This patch is on top of the whole series just to illustrate it. Doing it
for real will involve squashing it into the first patch (and adjusting
the commit message), and then handling the minor rebase conflicts. I'll
hold off on a re-roll until I get any comments on v3.
