This needs major work to be usable.

Although fast-import knows object name of each blob, being a
quick-and-dirty patch, git-add does not ask for it and still
computes the blob names by itself.  The only thing this
proof-of-concept patch buys is that the resulting object
database is packed, and does not get loose objects.
