It looks like "bad object" generally comes from parse_object failing,
which makes sense. It either means object corruption or you fed a full
40-char sha1 that didn't exist (which, if you are being that specific,
probably is an indication of broken-ness in your repository).

Right. Another version of the fix I was playing with used parse_object
after get_sha1 in opt_parse_merge_filter to make sure there that the
objects did exist, so I copied that error message for this patch.

I see Junio's already squashed this in, and it's certainly a better
message.

Ok, so what I have is good for everybody.  Will merge to "next" and soon
to "master" and "maint".

Thanks, both.
