It will be useful to loaders, as they currently load the entire
content in memory before deciding to skip it.

This aligns the new api with the old one.

This allows loaders to lazily load data: you can read from disk and transfer
only the contents that are really missing.

Summary:
This module is a reimplementation of swh.model.git, with the underlying goal of
replacing it and fixing T709 in the process.
