What batch-command and batch do does not sound like "high level" at
all.  It is just "instead of invoking separate process to ask about
each individual object, a single process answers the same low level
requests".

Independent of what this "The output from 'cat-file commit' is
tweaked" feature, I wonder if we want a command that can be used as
a filter.  Just like "git name-rev --stdin" reads a stream of text,
finds commit-looking references in it, and annotates them, the
command (e.g. "git mailmap") would find ident-looking strings and
replaces with the mapped results, or something.

Absolutely.
