It is similar to this approach, except: - the approach I sent out uses pkt-line, which might be difficult to retrofit to cat-file if we need it - in the future, we want the Git side to be able to initiate requests - (possibly minor) it may be confusing if we add functionality to cat-file that is not about reading objects Other than that, yes, they are similar.
