[side note] should that grep become test_i18ngrep? If this machinery is to find an object that is *bad* (in the sense in one of your earlier messages), I suspect it may be quite easy to use the new mechanism added by the series to also locate a tree object and report "that tree appears in this commit at this path" and it would be equally useful as the feature to find a blob. Thanks.
