git: decode node IDs back into Python strings (issue6349) db.text_factory = bytes, so the database contains only strings. The object IDs we get from pygit2 are Python strings. b'foo' != 'foo' This change allows the "don't reindex" optimization to work by allowing the "cur_cache_heads == cache_heads" comparison a few lines down to succeed.

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

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).
