I think the first error comes from update_one, which creates a tree
object from the index.  It is complaining, because after all, that
object is not in any sha1 file.

I think [1/3] was supposed to make this not an issue, with that particular 
object being implicitly in all objects databases.

Wait, is [1/3] meant to create that strong of an illusion?  That is,
should has_sha1_file pretend the object is present, too?
