Slow and ugly work around for bug #718517 in git, which broke git-cat-file --batch for filenames containing spaces.

This runs git-cat-file in non-batch mode for all files with spaces.
If a directory tree has a lot of them, and is in direct mode, even "git
annex add" when there are few new files will need a *lot* of forks!

The only reason buffering the whole file content to get the sha is not a
memory leak is that git-annex only ever uses this on symlinks.

This needs to be reverted as soon as a fix is available in git!
