lfs: deduplicate oids in the transfer Apparently, we can't rely on the server to deduplicate for us. Sadly, the pointer object isn't hashable, so it can't be reduced by converting it to a set. In order to be hashable, it needs to be immutable. I had a bunch of code to change it to composition and forward the readonly dict methods to a member dict. But the pointer is updated via __setitem__() when creating the pointer file. So it didn't see worth adding all of that code to the class.

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
