We currently call parse_commit and then assume we can
dereference the resulting "tree" struct field. If parsing
failed, however, that field is NULL and we end up
segfaulting.
Instead of a segfault, let's print an error message and die
a little more gracefully.
Note that this should never happen in practice, but may
happen in a corrupt repository (or when accessing objects
not connected to the reachable history, whose parents may be
subject to pruning).

Not a huge deal, since we are terminating the program either way. There
are other places in the code with a bare parse_commit that could
probably use the same treatment. I didn't investigate them, but they
could easily build on the parse_commit_or_die here if somebody wants to
follow up.
