Research direction
Start at git-fs-db's read method and compare its handling of loose objects in .git/objects with the reported ENOENT for packed objects. Reproduce the issue using an older object stored in a packed file; done means read can resolve packed objects as well as unpacked ones.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
trying out the read method, I find I can read a new object entry that exists as an unpacked object in the .git/objects directory.
but I get an ENOENT on an object hash that does not exist in the .git/objects directory if I try to read an older file that I am pretty sure is sitting in a packed object file.
just wondering if that's on the todo list - if so I'll just drop my experiments for now until it's supported - or maybe you need some help there I could try to support it?
