Heh, I thought you were making up a hypothetical object-store.h, but I
see it has already come to pass.

IMHO the whole for_each_*_object() interface should go in there (it even
has packed_git defined there already!). I think I'd still just as soon
do it on top of this series, but it might not be too bad to do as part
of a re-roll.
