Shall we document this one is mutually exclusive with ODB_FSCK_PROGRESS?

Should we guard data->opts->object_cb being NULL?

Okay, this function is called by for_each_loose_file_in_source() so we need to return 0 to keep that loop going. I'm not a huge fan of the error_found construct, but that isn't changed, so it's fine.
