Technically the patch emits the gzip format using the gz* functions.
Raw zlib output with deflate* would be slightly different. So I'd
rather use "gzip" instead of "zlib" in the magic string.
And I'm not sure about the colon as the only magic marker. Perhaps
throw in a "git " or "git-" instead or in addition?

Using gzsetparams() to set the compression level numerically after gzdopen()
instead of baking it into the mode string feels cleaner.
