In-Reply-To: <pull.989.git.1625155693.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: ZheNing Hu <adlternative@gmail.com>

Let get_object() return 1 and print "<oid> missing" instead of returning -1 and printing "missing object <oid> for <refname>" if oid_object_info_extended() unable to find the data corresponding to oid. When `cat-file --batch` use ref-filter logic later it can help `format_ref_array_item()` just report that the object is missing without letting Git exit.
