That's because it's not a blob ;)

You can do

	git-cat-file -t dd0fc66

and it will tell you it's a "commit" object. Then do

	git-cat-file commit dd0fc66

and it will show the actual commit internals, including commit info, 
parents and what tree object that commit is associated with.

HOWEVER. What you actually want to see is probably

	git-diff-tree -p --pretty dd0fc66

which shows the commit as "patch" (-p) and a "pretty header" (--pretty).
