Interesting. I was imagining (without checking!) that you'd be
interested in the compression a particular file had, not the last one.

I checked both call sites: get_commit() and guess_comp_type(). The
second one is the direct cause of this bug, but it looks to me like the
second one would be OK with this fix too. AFAICS it is ultimately used
to determine if we should pristine-tar commit a file or skip it because
it already exists. In that case we shouldn't look for the merge commit
either, or?

Ah, maybe you're saying this is API and we shouldn't change semantics
for external users?

Thanks!
