This short patch series implements a `-z` mode that is compatible with the `--batch`, `--batch-check`, and new `--batch-command` options in `cat-file`. This came out of a request from a colleague to support `cat-file` invocations that refer to a tree entry whose name includes a newline character. The implementation is mostly straightforward, though the second patch (which contains the main substance of this change) has a few additional thoughts on areas for future cleanup. The first patch is preparatory, but could easily be squashed, too. Thanks in advance for your review!
