I've managed to trigger the error 

	got: //d/g: no such entry found in tree

by running got log -b d/g or tog log -b d/g in a specially crafted 
repo.

I have a script (at bottom) to reproduce and am happy to turn that 
into a patch for regress/cmdline.

However, I have only partly understood the cause of the problem. 
Some notes below. Maybe someone more familiar with how advance_branch 
is supposed to work can see it more quickly.

My commit graph looks like this (starting with the most recent commit):

   o  create d/g
   |
   o  merge (does not touch the directory d at all)
  / \
o   o  unrelated changes which leave the whole directory d unchanged
  \ /
   o  initial commit, which includes directory d but without the file d/g

I noticed that when detect_changed_path is called at commit_graph:508, 
and *commit_id is the merge commit, detect_changed_path sets changed 
to 0 and returns no error. (Line number 508 is from commit d4fbd6eb.) 
This is interesting because the path "d/g" is not present in that 
commit, and the if statement immediately following seems to be 
looking for that case (comparing err->code to GOT_ERR_NO_OBJ).

The reason detect_changed_path doesn't return GOT_ERR_NO_OBJ is 
that the director d is not changed in the merge commit, so 
got_object_tree_path_changed stops walking the tree before it tries 
to look up d/g.

I don't actually know if that's where the bug is because I don't 
know how it's all supposed to work. Interestingly, the bug doesn't 
appear without the -b option to {got,tog} log.

FYI here is a backtrace from when got_error_path 
gets called (line numbers from commit d4fbd6eb):
