+ Originally merged to 'next' on 2020-01-04
+
  has_object_file() said "no" given an object registered to the
  system via pretend_object_file(), making it inconsistent with
  read_object_file(), causing lazy fetch to attempt fetching an
  empty tree from promisor remotes.

  "git commit" gives output similar to "git status" when there is
  nothing to commit, but without honoring the advise.statusHints
  configuration variable, which has been corrected.
