Can't you check for 0{40} and use $(git hash-object -t tree </dev/null)
in its place?

In general, the "LOW-LEVEL COMMANDS (PLUMBING)" listed on the git man

output formats, they don't try to introduce weird exceptions for user
convenience, the git developers are more conservative about changing
them, and so on.
