Re: [PATCH 4/4] am: fix --interactive HEAD tree resolution

> In interactive mode, "git am -i --resolved" will try to generate a patch
> based on what is in the index, so that it can prompt "apply this
> patch?". To do so it needs the tree of HEAD, which it tries to get with
> get_oid_tree(). However, this doesn't yield a tree oid; the "tree" part
> just means "if you must disambiguate short oids, then prefer trees" (and
> we do not need to disambiguate at all, since we are feeding a ref name).
>
> Instead, we must parse the oid as a commit (which should always be true
> in a non-corrupt repository), and access its tree pointer manually.
