[issue3352] Hg cat does not work for largefiles (no such file in rev)

New submission from Christian Lackas <lackas at invicro.com>:

When trying to use 'cat' on files added with '--large' I always get a 'no
such file in rev XXX' error message.

Please see attached shell code as a minimal example to demonstrate the issue:
$ ./cat-large-test.sh 
/home/ipacs/test/cltest
large.file: no such file in rev 5c8c7f98150f
SMALL works

Tested on
$ hg --version
Mercurial Distributed SCM (version 2.1.1)

Is there an alternative way to access a specific revision of a large file
directly (without having to check it out to the working directory)?

Thanks,
 Christian
