The logic looks correct (and the reasoning behind it, which was explained in the log message, was sound). prune_shallow(0, 1) however is not easily understandable.

There are only two callsites of this function after these three patches, and the areas of the code that have these calls are in relatively quiescent parts in the whole tree, so it shouldn't be too distracting to do an update to make the function take a flag word, so that we can make callsites more immediately obvious, i.e.

	prune_shallow(PRUNE_SHALLOW_QUICK)
It of course can be left as a low-hanging fruit loose-end.
