Before the cat-file, also verify that the tree is missing, most likely through a "git rev-list" with "--missing=print".

I think we only need to test this sequence once, which can be placed in one or spread over multiple tests: 1. partial clone with --filter=tree:0 2. fsck works 3. verify that trees are indeed missing 4. autofetch a tree 5. fsck still works
