We punt from "repair"ing the hash tree during a branch switching if
it involves having to create a new tree object that does not yet
exist in the object store.  "mkdir dir && >dir/file && git add dir"
followed by "git checkout" is one example, when a tree that records
the state of such "dir/" is not in the object store.

However, after discovering that we do not have a tree object that
records the state of "dir/", we failed to propagate the fact up the
callchain to stop the code to attempt populating the level that has
"dir/" as its immediate subdirectory.  This led the caller detect
and report a non-existent error.
