parse_from_existing() has a special case for null_sha1 treating it as a start of an orphaned branch. It is how null_sha1 parent is treated in fast-import. For example parse_reset_branch() clears sha1 of a branch but leaves it in a lookup table. Looking at parse_from_existing() call sites, we can seen that it is only called for sha1's that come from get_sha1() or an existing object. So fast-import internals don't give it null_sha1 explicitly and the only way for it to appear is direct '0{40}' in the input. Don't treat null_sha1 as a magic sha1 in parse_from_existing thus making 'from 0{40}' an invalid input. (Unless there is a commit object having null_sha1, of course. And object with null_sha1 would be a lot of trouble in fast-import regardless of this patch.)
