In the old world, old_sha1 here used to be one of
(1) NULL, (2) null_sha1[], or (3) a real object name.
What is the rule in the new world?
Does it still allow NULL, and if so what does NULL mean?
The same thing as null_sha1[] or something else?
Or is it an error to pass NULL to this function after this change
(which I think is a very sensible rule, by the way)?
If the former, perhaps "if (!old_sha1) old_sha1 = null_sha1;"
here might be a prudent measure to simplify the code.
If the latter, "assert(old_sha1);" may be appropriate.
