Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Don't load missing ACL files in paranoid update hook
Message-ID: <20080526021801.GB29990@spearce.org>

```
If a user or group ACL file does not exist in the current tip
revision of the acl repository we will get an error from cat-file
when we ask for that blob as it cannot be resolved.  A quick look
at the history by rev-list can tell us if there is a path there
or not.
