Sorry, but I do not understand this part.
The object name of the original blob (which is the only thing
"promisor-remote" is given) may sort earlier or later than other
objects that are missing in the "client" repository, but it is not
clear how it makes difference in the final outcome---even if the
blob is asked first (in the SHA-1 version), wouldn't we need to
fetch the tree after that, and wouldn't that fail? If the SHA-256
version that happens to ask for the tree first and fails, wouldn't
that mean we need to fetch both anyway?
Is it that the current test with SHA-1 is broken in that it lets the
lazy fetch fail (due to missing tree) but because the failure happens
after the blob gets feteched, and it ignores the failure of the lazy
fetch, and only checks if the blob got fetched, it happens to "pass"?
