The repetition tires reviewers' eyes. I am reasonably sure if there were an intentional copy-and-paste error, I wouldn't be able to spot it. But I tried to be careful and read it over three times ;-).

How important is it for this application to end up with a valid value in data->oid?

If data->value is initialized to a valid value, instead of an impossible sentinel value that is strictly smaller than any valid values, this can leave data->value to a valid value from an existing object without recording its object name. Imagine a repository with a single empty blob, and data->value initialized to zero (it cannot be initialized to a sentinel -1, as use of size_t here makes it impossible to have any reasonable sentinel values).
