A use case for git-bundle expected to be quite common is this: $ git bundle create daily.bundle --since=10.days.ago --all The expected outcome is _not_ to error out if only a couple of the refs were not changed during the last 10 days. This patch complains loudly about refs which are skipped due to the pack not containing the corresponding objects, but dies only if no objects would be in the pack _at all_.

[...] I see another problem, too: if at least one ref was not updated since yesterday, "create" would fail with the latest patches. This fixes it.
