Hmph, I wonder if we want to go all the way to emulate how the mailmap.blob was done, including - Default the value of attr.tree to HEAD in a bare repository; - Notice but ignore errors if the attr.tree does not point at a tree object, and pretend as if attr.tree specified an empty tree; which does not seem to be in this patch. With such a change, probably we do not even need [2/2] of the series, perhaps?
