NO! Don't see if this works. For the "sha1 file already exists" file, it 
forgot to return the SHA1 value in "returnsha1", and would thus corrupt 
the trees it wrote.

So don't apply, don't test. You won't corrupt your archive (you'll just
write bogus tree objects), but if you commit the bogus trees you're going
to be in a world of hurt and will have to undo everything you did.

It's a good test for "fsck" though. It core-dumps because it tries to add 
references to NULL objects.
