It has always been correct that any reference whose object does not
exist is broken by definition.

But didn't "does not exist" use to mean "not in this repository,
and cannot be obtained from our promisor remotes", but with this
series, its meaning has changed to mean "not in this repository
right now---it does not matter if our promisor has it"?

So with this change, aren't we changing that statement to "any
reference whose object does not exist may be broken, but we do not
know it until we consult our promisor remotes, if any"?
