The first part sounds good, as a rigid output format can always be
relaxed later if necessary. The second I'm less sure about: should
there perhaps be a --{no-,}missing-objects option to control it?
In particular I'd be a bit concerned if I always wanted to keep object
$H and ran a command that is supposed to keep $H, but it was
silently dropped (accidentally or not) and is then gone.
One could always run `gitt rev-parse` or `git cat-file -t` on the hash
afterward to double check, I suppose...
