We can see the use of has_object() in RelNotes/2.29.0.txt[1]:
   * A new helper function has_object() has been introduced to make it
     easier to mark object existence checks that do and don't want to
     trigger lazy fetches, and a few such checks are converted using it.

Let's see the difference between has_object() and repo_has_object_file():
    int has_object(struct repository *r, const struct object_id *oid,
            unsigned flags)
    {
        int quick = !(flags & HAS_OBJECT_RECHECK_PACKED);
        unsigned object_info_flags = OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT |
            (quick ? OBJECT_INFO_QUICK : 0);

        if (!startup_info->have_repository)
            return 0;
        return oid_object_info_extended(r, oid, NULL, object_info_flags) >= 0;
    }

    int repo_has_object_file_with_flags(struct repository *r,
                        const struct object_id *oid, int flags)
    {
        if (!startup_info->have_repository)
            return 0;
        return oid_object_info_extended(r, oid, NULL, flags) >= 0;
    }

    int repo_has_object_file(struct repository *r,
                const struct object_id *oid)
    {
        return repo_has_object_file_with_flags(r, oid, 0);
    }

Now we kown that has_object() add OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT to skip
fetch object.

I found that Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason added deref_without_lazy_fetch()
4 weeks ago[2]:
    static struct commit *deref_without_lazy_fetch(const struct object_id *oid,
                            int mark_tags_complete)
    {
        enum object_type type;
        unsigned flags = OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT | OBJECT_INFO_QUICK;
        return deref_without_lazy_fetch_extended(oid, mark_tags_complete,
                            &type, flags);
    }

But oi_flags is only used by oid_object_info_extended() and is missed by
lookup_commit_in_graph():
    static struct commit *deref_without_lazy_fetch_extended(const struct object_id *oid,
                                int mark_tags_complete,
                                enum object_type *type,
                                unsigned int oi_flags)
    {
        struct object_info info = { .typep = type };
        struct commit *commit;

        commit = lookup_commit_in_graph(the_repository, oid);
        if (commit)
            return commit;

        while (1) {
            if (oid_object_info_extended(the_repository, oid, &info,
                            oi_flags))

So, an appropriate fix can be that let lookup_commit_in_graph() pickup
oi_flags and pass it to oid_object_info_extended(), then the fetching
loop will be prevent by the given flag OBJECT_INFO_SKIP_FETCH_OBJECT.
