I'm not sure that can actually happen - peel_committish is essentially
implemented as `rev-parse $arg^0` (though with a bit of bling, of
course), and to my understanding FETCH_HEAD will always parse to a
committish - I could have missed something, of course.

subtree Will need error-catching at some point, of course, triggering
resets or at least suggesting instructions to the user, but I think
that's a touch out of the scope of a bugfix at this point (and, to be
honest, I personally can't allocate the time to that for about a month
due to the dark shadow of academic exams). Indeed, what to do in those
cases is probably worth (re-)discussing the overall design and aims of
subtree for, and so I'm not confident that I currently know the best way
to do that.

Awesome, thanks again for this and the feedback.
