Thanks.  The structure still seems more complicated than it needs to
be.  More details below.

Makes sense.

This structure could be simplified by putting the lazy-initializing
tip_oids lookup in a separate function.  For example:

	int tip_oids_contain(struct oidset *tip_oids,
		struct ref *unmatched, struct ref *newlist,
		const struct oid *id)
	{
		if (oidset_is_empty(tip_oids)) {
			add_refs_to_oidset(tip_oids, unmatched);
			add_refs_to_oidset(tip_oids, newlist);
		}
		return oidset_contains(tip_oids, id);
	}

That way, the caller could be kept simple (eliminating can_append
and the repeated if).

Thanks,
Jonathan
