Maybe you're right, Shawn. I've also tried the following code:

File dotGit = new File("objects/25/0f67ef017fcb97b5371a302526872cfcadad21");
InflaterInputStream inflaterInputStream = new InflaterInputStream(new
FileInputStream(dotGit));
ByteArrayOutputStream os = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
IOUtils.copyLarge(inflaterInputStream, os);
System.out.println(new String(os.toByteArray()));

But we got the same result, I'll try to read the bytes by myself
(without apache IOUtils). Is the contents of a unpacked object utf-8
encoded?
