I'm still working on a full reroll for the series including performance
measurements (since this took me much longer than I expected it would),
but I wanted to include a patch for the segfault below to keep things
tidy in the mean time.  I should point out that this doesn't appear to
crash when running the testsuite in SHA-256 mode for reasons I'm not
sure about, which explains why I didn't see it originally.

Subject: [PATCH] http-push: set algorithm when reading object ID

In most places in the codebase, we use oidread to properly read an
object ID into a struct object_id.  However, in the HTTP code, we end up
needing to parse a loose object path with a slash in it, so we can't do
that.  Let's instead explicitly set the algorithm in this function so we
can rely on it in the future.
