I didn't check, but I can imagine you can drop the parse_tree here. We
should know the object sha1 once the commit is parsed.

parse_commit() does a lookup_tree() but I don't think that it parses the
tree, i.e. I don't hink it fills in tree->object.sha1.

Huh?  parse_tree(tree) calls read_sha1_file(tree->object.sha1) to parse
the tree.  How can it do without filling tree->object.sha1?
