teach convert_to_git a "dry run" mode

Some callers may want to know whether convert_to_git will
actually do anything before performing the conversion
itself (e.g., to decide whether to stream or handle blobs
in-core). This patch lets callers specify the dry run mode
by passing a NULL destination buffer. The return value,
instead of indicating whether conversion happened, will
indicate whether conversion would occur.

For readability, we also include a wrapper function which
makes it more obvious we are not actually performing the
conversion.
