This value, which is stashed in the last byte of an object_id hash, gets handed around a lot. So add a sanity check before using it in `load_subtree()`.
Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhag...@alum.mit.edu> --- This patch is an addendum to v1 of the mh/notes-cleanup patch series [1]. It adds the assertion that was suggested by Junio [2]. Since the first patch series is already in next, this patch is constructed to apply on top of that branch. Thanks to Junio and Johan for their review of v1.
