I discovered a bug in this...

Here we blindly add objects found in an alternate repo. I found and
debugged this with this:

    diff --git a/fetch-negotiator.h b/fetch-negotiator.h

Perhaps something like that with an assert() is a good idea for the
negotiation backend code in general? It seems rather fragile to depend
on there being no other codepath that calls add_tip() again after some
other code (--negotiation-tip=*) that expects it not to be called again.
