Sometimes you want to create a commit but not write it out to the
objectdb immediately. For these cases, provide a new function to
retrieve the buffer instead of having to go through the db.

Submodules don't exist in the objectdb and the code is making us try to
look for a blob with its commit id, which is obviously not going to
work.

Skip the test if the user wants to insert a submodule.

We should have been doing this, but it initializes itself upon first
use, which works as long as nobody's doing concurrent network
operations. Initialize it on our init to make sure it's not getting
initialized concurrently.

test: make sure we retry the auth callback on all platforms

xdiff: fix memleak on error case

If the caller has provided bad authentication, give them another
apportunity to get it right until they give up. This brings WinHTTP in
line with the other transports.

Stricter object dependency checking during creation

Commit 3d1abc5afce fixes a memory leak in the xdiff code. In the
process of upstreaming the fix it was pointed out by Johannes
Schindelin that there is another memory leak present (see [1]).

Fix the second memory leak by applying the upstream fix to our
code base.
