Just after writing this I had a thought.  If there are things in the
working tree that aren't files or directories or symlinks, what does
git do ?

For our treesame check to be meaningful, we need it to fail, I think.

Since I think we don't want to permit tarballs that contain device
files, sockets, or whatever.
