I think the "commit = p->item" part is trying to do a tail
recursion optimization, but this is a bit too clever to my
liking (at first I mistook that the code forgot to re-point p at
its parents list and incrementing cur_depth).

I take it as a compliment ;-)

Seriously again, would you like me to add a comment, or rather do away 
with the tail recursion optimization? It is not a huge optimization 
anyway. Maybe a cleverer way would be to use an object_array instead of a 
commit_list?

Leaving it as a compliment is just fine.
