Max memory use running `git-annex find` in a repo with 100k annexed files
has increased significantly since 8.20200330, from 36 mb to 118 mb:

old:

	5.16user 3.36system 0:16.91elapsed 50%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 37188maxresident)k
	897424inputs+0outputs (263major+17954minor)pagefaults 0swaps

current:

	7.51user 1.76system 0:06.50elapsed 142%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 121812maxresident)k
	0inputs+0outputs (0major+34283minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Note that it has at the same time gotten nearly 3x faster!

I don't think this is a memory leak, but instead is probably a change in
buffering behavior, likely connected to optimisations. It may be that it's
an acceptable tradeoff, but it seems to have been somewhat unintentional,
so it needs to be investigated and understood.

Version 8.20200617 (just before the cat-file --buffer changes):

	4.78user 3.81system 0:17.94elapsed 47%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 37188maxresident)k
	1144592inputs+0outputs (249major+18142minor)pagefaults 0swaps

Version 8.20200720 (cat-file --buffer)

	annex/git-annex find >/dev/null7.82user 3.01system 0:08.60elapsed 126%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 122016maxresident)k
	350752inputs+0outputs (1444major+17634minor)pagefaults 0swaps
	
Smoking gun. And probably reasonable. But, why exactly does that optimisation
change the memory use in this way?
