Overall I think it is a good idea to slim down sha1_file.c *if* we can keep the exposed surface area small enough. I wonder if the names "pack.[ch]" communicate well that these are "object access layer that is about reading from packfiles". The writer side is called "pack-objects.[ch]". This may have to make some symbols that used to be private to the "object access" layer, which was what sha1_file.c was about, global symbols. After moving things around, do we end up exposing too many implementation details to the world outside the "object access" layer? I'd assume they are limited to the resulting pack.h and it would be OK as long as nobody other than sha1_file.c and pack.c would inculde it, though.
