odb: add option to turn off hash verification · 35079f50
Verifying hashsums of objects we are reading from the ODB may be costly as we have to perform an additional hashsum calculation on the object. Especially when reading large objects, the penalty can be as high as 35%, as can be seen when executing the equivalent of `git cat-file` with and without verification enabled. To mitigate for this, we add a global option for libgit2 which enables the developer to turn off the verification, e.g. when he can be reasonably sure that the objects on disk won't be corrupted.
