Junio C Hamano [off-list ref] writes:
We may need to audit recent additions of get_oid_committish() calls
in our codebase.  I suspect there may be other instances of the same
mistake.

Other than that, the code structure does look more straight-forward
compared to the previous round.  A fix on this version would involve
peeling what is in oid down to commit, and you need to handle errors
during that process, so it may not stay pretty with a fix, though.
I dunno.
I'll queue it with this band-aid on top for now.

Thanks.
