Fixing issues hit by real users reactively is a necessary and good thing, but this is not the first time we patch callers of has_object_file() for this kind of "we are merely trying to determine the boundary of what we have, so that we know what we need to add to this repository" queries, I am afraid. Perhaps it is a good idea to sweep all the hits from "git grep -e has_object_file \*.c" and audit the codebase to see if there are other problematic ones? For example, list-objects.c::process_blob() tries to if the object exists when --exclude-promisor-objects is in effect so that it can return early if the object is missing and it is a promisor object. I would imagine that we would not want to lazy-fetch the object in this case. Thanks. Will queue.
