If you run a log with diffs (such as -p, --raw, --stat etc.) the
current code ends up loading many objects twice.  For example, for
'log -3000 -p' my instrumentation said the objects loaded more than
once are distributed as follows:

  2008 blob
  2103 commit
  2678 tree

Fixing blobs and trees will be harder, because those are really used
within the diff engine and need some form of caching.

However, fixing the commits is easy at least at the band-aid level.
They are triggered by log_tree_diff() invoking diff_tree_sha1() on
commits, which duly loads the specified object to dereference it to a
tree.  Since log_tree_diff() knows that it works with commits and they
must have trees, we can simply pass through the trees.

This has a quite dramatic effect on log --raw, though only a
negligible impact on log -p:

Test                      with patch        before
--------------------------------------------------------------------
4000.2: log --raw -3000   0.50(0.43+0.06)   0.54(0.46+0.06) +7.0%***
4000.3: log -p -3000      2.34(2.20+0.13)   2.37(2.22+0.13) +1.2%
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Significance hints:  '.' 0.1  '*' 0.05  '**' 0.01  '***' 0.001
