How do you plan to use this new function? #define parse_commit(c)
parse_commit_repl(c) or use the new function explictly when needed?

You are going to need parse_tree_repl() too unless you declare
tree/blob replacement is not supported and make git-replace refuse
blob/tree replacement.

Another thing to address is, there will be a duration between
lookup_commit() and parse_commit_repl(), where object.sha1 is the
original one. If it is saved elsewhere, troubles are ahead.

You need to use lookup_object() instead here. lookup_commit() wil
create new object if "repl" is not found.
