Re: Bug in merge-recursive in virtual commit corner case

Although Junio mentioned he recently saw something like this in
git.git when he merged in your xdl_merge() code.  I wonder if its
the same issue.

No, that is not related at all.  My initial attempt (which is
not in any commit that survives til today) used hash_sha1_file()
on the result from xdl_merge() where I should have used
write_sha1_file(), and I saw the same "oh, the required object
is not there" errors from everywhere.
