Since we're only interested in the oids, I thought that it would be
possible to save a lookup_object() and just use the oids directly. If
it's clearer, this can be written as something like this but the lookup
feels unnecessary:

	/*
	 * We saw two trees, ent0 and ent1.  If ent1 is uninteresting,
	 * swap them.
	 */
	if (ent1->item->flags & UNINTERESTING)
		swap = 1;

	if (merge_base) {
		struct object_id mb_oid;
		if (swap)
			BUG("swap is unexpectedly set");
		if (diff_get_merge_base(revs, &mb_oid))
			exit(128);
		ent0->item = lookup_object(the_repository, &mb_oid);
	}


	oid[swap] = &ent0->item->oid;
	oid[1 - swap] = &ent1->item->oid;

Thanks,
Denton
