An improvement like this seems good for 3.1.0.  Your patch looks nice, but I do
want to make sure that it is leveraging knowledge from the generator -- if
we're doing a normal (not whole-file) transfer, then a seek over identical
bytes doesn't need to read the bytes again.  Does you patch take that into
consideration?

Also, there's already a change in the 3.1.0dev code in sparse_end() that
replaces that write-a-0-at-the-end-of-the-file code with an ftruncate() call
(if ftruncate() is available), which will avoid allocating an extra block at
the end of the file to hold the 0.
