What we do is: if entry_ref is NULL then we return NULL (so that the caller returns 0).
If entry_ref is not NULL then we return a copy of entry_ref->pending (with or without subtrans).

I think there is pros and cons for both but I don't have a strong opinion about that.
So also proposing V3 attached without the flag in case this is the preferred approach.
