Sounds like a good match.

Why extend alloc.c instead of using mem-pool.c?  (I don't know which fits
better, but when you say "memory pool" and not use mem-pool.c I just have
to ask..)

Why shouldn't we get duplicates?  That depends on the usage of oidtree,
right?  The current user is fine because we avoid reading the same loose
object directory twice using the loose_objects_subdir_seen bitmap.

The leak comes from the allocation above, which is not used in case we
already have the key in the oidtree.  So we need memory for all
candidates, not just the inserted candidates.  That's probably
acceptable in most use cases.

We can do better by keeping track of the unnecessary allocation in
struct oidtree and recycling it at the next insert attempt, however.
That way we'd only waste at most one slot.

Why initialize k; isn't oidcpy_with_padding() supposed to overwrite it
completely?

This relies on the order of the members hash and algo in struct
object_id to find a matching hash if we don't actually know algo.  It
also relies on the absence of padding after algo.  Would something like
this make sense?

   BUILD_ASSERT_OR_ZERO(offsetof(struct object_id, algo) + sizeof(k.algo) == sizeof(k));

And why set k.algo to some arbitrary value if we ignore it anyway?  I.e.
why not keep it GIT_HASH_UNKNOWN, as set by oidcpy_with_padding()?

Clamp oidhexlen at GIT_MAX_HEXSZ?  Or die?
