That makes sense. Readers would expect that this flag is passed only from test-helper but not in the regular code, at least without an option like "git update-ref --skip-oid-verification ..."?

After applying these 6 patches, I do not seem to find anybody who actually flips this bit on. Perhaps I missed a step or so?
