Thanks for producing this.

These two are expected.  One this series makes its way to master, I'll
send patches that use it in a bunch more places, and these functions
will be adequately covered by multiple code paths.

This one is just a name change.  However, I think it's interesting that
this code path isn't covered in the normal case (and presumably isn't
covered before my patch).  From the comment, this appears to be limited
to the case where the index line in the patch contains the full object
ID.

I'll try to see if I can come up with a test to cover this case.

These are a change solely in text from what was there before.
Considering that git pack-objects would have to be modified to produce
invalid data in order to trigger these (as discussed in the series that
changed them), I think it's okay that these are uncovered.
