Oops, I made a mistake in the quoted portion, which is that we could get
REV_TREE_NEW if the tree-diff itself only adds files. This is the
non-trivial case that we get when t1 is non-NULL, and we end up calling
`diff_tree_oid()` which sets the static `tree_difference` variable.

So I think adding an nth_parent field (like you originally
suggested[^1]) makes sense.

Thanks,
Taylor
