This will be used by LFS to tune what is skipped.
In the future, this could also be used by LFS to indicate which nodes tagged
with skipread are simply in need of a blob fetch, so that they can be done in
a batch later. (Currently, skipread also indicates censored data and errors.)
Additionally, it could be used to cache the sha1 hash value for each blob so
that large blobs don't need to be re-read and re-hashed if they are used by
multiple nodes.
