git cat-file: Fix memory leak in batch mode

When run in batch mode, git cat-file never frees the memory for the blob contents it is printing. This quickly adds up and causes git-svn to be hardly usable for imports of large svn repos, because it uses cat-file in batch mode and cat-file's memory usage easily reaches several hundred MB without any good reason.
