[PATCH] fast-import: fix lookup for new commits

["Marc Becker via GitGitGadget" <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>]

From: Marc Becker <becm@gmx.de>

Queries for commits created during the same 'git fast-import'  session
result in a crash:
    < reset refs/heads/newbranch
    < from <new-commit-oid>
    > fatal: not a valid commit: <new-commit-oid>

Getting file content for commit has no issue (working implementation):
    < ls <new-commit-oid> file-in-new-commit.txt
    > {file content}

During import, new objects may not (yet) be reachable via the ODB layer.
Try to resolve requested tag/commit via object cache first
to avoid crash and (eventually) improve lookup speed.
