[PATCH svn-fe] fast-import: make code "-Wpointer-arith" clean

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

The dereference() function to peel a tree-ish and find the underlying
tree expects arithmetic to (void *) to work on byte addresses.  We
should be reading the text of objects through a char * anyway.

This should fix it, I suppose?  A

	-std=c99 -O3 -Wall -W
	-Wno-sign-compare
	-Wno-unused-parameter
	-Wno-missing-field-initializers
	-Wno-empty-body
	-Wno-pointer-to-int-cast
	-Wno-type-limits
	-Wno-unused-but-set-variable
	-Wold-style-definition -Wpointer-arith -Wvla
	-Wdeclaration-after-statement -Werror

build passes, except for an "unsigned long expire" in builtin-reflog
that confuses this copy of gcc.
