Does this depend on the fact that nobody created a blob with 0-byte
length in the test repository before this test?  It feels a bit
brittle to me, but as long as future test writers are made aware of
that they must not "git add" an empty file, this is probably OK.

But it may be more robust to do something like

	missing_blob=$(echo no such blob here | git hash-object --stdin)

perhaps?  I dunno.

Thanks.
