This still makes no sense to me.  Is this data intended as a base
tree, or as an overlay?  If it's an overlay, what are the constraints
on the base tree it's supposed to apply to.

This patch is treating it as both in different places, but that's such
a bizarre usecase it needs detailed justification.  It really looks
like the unittest stuff is doing some very bogus stuff that should be
fixed first, before trying to do this on top.
