s/wanted to pass a/wanted to pass an arbitrary/, I would think.
Other than that, nicely analyzed.

It is unclear what you are trying to say here.  Missing closing ')'
that should close '(i.e.' does not help, either, because it muddles
what you wanted to imply by bringing up the "--literally" option.

    The one caller in builtin/cat-file.c passes the typename the
    end-user typed on the command line i.e. "git cat-file <TYPE>
    <NAME>", but read_object_with_reference() called in the codepath
    is *NOT* expected to deal with objects with unknown/bogus type
    crafted with "hash-object --literally" (note: "git cat-file"
    does have the "--allow-unknown-type" option, but it can only be
    used with the "-s" and "-t" options).  It won't result in loss
    of functionality if we restricted the required_type parameter
    given to read_object_with_reference() to the four known types by
    changing the function signature to take the enum instead of
    string.

is probably what you meant to say, but I am only guessing.

And this is the caller we just discussed.

I do not think it is a good change to effectively rename
required_type to object_type.  Swapping the required_type_name
parameter with required_type parameter of type "enum object_type"
and dropping the now unneeded type_from_string() call would have
been much easier to follow.
