The first thing I would like to test when zlib abstraction is ready is
to test with NULL compressor, i.e. not compression/decompression at
all and see if 'git log' and friends are happy.

BTW would be possible to test git with zlib disabled also now? I mean
there is a quick hack to disable zlib not only in writing but also in
reading, so that we can see what happens when running a repository
packed without compression?


Thanks
