Subject: object-file: extract function to read object info from path
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=46732b8ee67a29d334d9654b1707b47c1a20e565;p=thirdparty%2Fgit.git

object-file: extract function to read object info from path

Extract a new function that allows us to read object info for a specific
loose object via a user-supplied path. This function will be used in a
subsequent commit.

Note that this also allows us to drop `stat_loose_object()`, which is
a simple wrapper around `odb_loose_path()` plus lstat(3p).
