Actually, I take that back. I think it might be easier to keep
"object->type" as-is, and it would only show the current OBJ_xyz
fields. Then writing the SHA ends up deciding whether a OBJ_COMMIT
gets written as "commit" or "commit2".
With the reachability rules, you'd never have any ambiguity about which to use.
