This way we can start to write IO code to read and write files in the
Git object database, but provide a hook to inject native Win32 APIs
instead so libgit2 can be ported to run natively on that platform.

This isn't the best idea I've head. Pierre Habouzit was suggesting
a technique of assigning a unique integer to each commit and then
allocating storage out of auxiliary pools, using the commit's unique
integer to index into any auxiliary pool in constant time. This way
both applications and the library can efficiently attach arbitrary
data onto a commit, such as rewritten parents, or flags, and have
them disconnected from the main object hash table.

This way only structures we ask the caller to allocate on their
call stack or which we want to allow them to use members from
are shown in the API docs.

Most read calls will use the small object format, as the
majority of the content within the database is very small
objects (under 20 KB when inflated).
