sha1_object_info() returns -1 (OBJ_BAD) if it cannot find the object for some reason, which suggests that it wants the _caller_ to report this error. However, part of its work happens in sha1_loose_object_info, which _does_ report errors itself. This is doubly strange because: * packed_object_info(), which is the other half of the duo, does _not_ report this. * In the event that an object is packed and pruned while sha1_object_info_extended() goes looking for it, we would erroneously show the error -- even though the code of the latter function purports to handle this case gracefully. * A caller might invoke sha1_object_info() to find the type of an object even if that object is not known to exist. Silence this error. The others remain untouched as a corrupt object is a much more grave error than it merely being absent.
