* fsck.c (fsck_error_function): Don't test obj->sha1 == 0.
It can never be true, since that sha1 member is an array.
* transport.c (set_upstreams): Likewise for ref->new_sha1.

Fix some coverity-spotted nits.
Relative to "next".

I don't appreciate this comment especially for a patch that applies
cleanly to "maint".

But other than that, fine.  Thanks.
