Thanks. There is an existing test that makes a bad assumption and fails with these patches. We may need something like this patch as a preliminary fix before these four patches.

Subject: [PATCH] t9210: do not rely on lazy fetching to fail

With "rev-list --missing=print $start", where "$start" is a 40-hex object name, the object may or may not be lazily fetched from the promisor. Make sure it fails by forcing dereference of "$start" at that point.
