[PATCH v3 1/4] history: extract helper for a commit's parent tree

From: Harald Nordgren via GitGitGadget <hidden>
Date: 2026-06-18 19:17:11
Subsystem: the rest · Maintainer: Linus Torvalds

From: Harald Nordgren <redacted>

Three places resolve the tree of a commit's first parent, falling back
to the empty tree for a root commit, each repeating the same parse and
oidcpy dance. Extract a first_parent_tree_oid() helper and route the
existing callers through it.

No change in behavior.
