I vaguely recall somebody (perhaps it was you) tried to do something like
this before to drive unpack_trees() inside the main process, broke the
program rather badly, and then we ended up keeping read-tree invocation
external to the process.  Am I misremembering things?

If not, could you describe how is this round different from the old one?
