Hi Ævar, (catching up after a week away, and noticed your patch today..)

I recently completed a PR in the Git for Windows build that is focused on "git hash-object --literally" as a starter for LLP64 large file (>4GB) compatibility. (https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/pull/3533), which Dscho has merged (cc'd). I'm not sure that the `extended` version will work as expected across the test suite as multiple fake object types are tried, though I only skimmed the patch. I'd support the general thrust, but just wanted to synchronise any changes.
