By converting this die() into a silent return, are we losing a place
where git might previously have alerted a user to corruption? In this
case, we can continue the operation without the object, but if we have
detected corruption, letting the user know as soon as possible is
probably a good idea.

In other words, should this instead be:

  warning("unable to read preferred base object: %s", ...);
  return 0;

Or will some other part of the code already complained to stderr?
