I am talking about the difference between "a tree exists (which may
lack notes for a given commit)" and "a tree does not even exist in
the first place".  This patch removed "a tree exists but that is not
a ref so we silently ignore", but I do not know if that change alone
covers everything---do you?

Depends on the definition of 'merging'.  I queued this one on 'pu',
and have no intention to merge it down to 'master' by the end of
this month; in the meantime either incremental or replacement
refinement can certainly address that inconsistency I'd hope ;-)

Thanks.
