Unfortunately, const double-pointers in C are a bit tricky, and a
pointer to "char *" cannot automatically be passed as a pointer to
"const char *". 

I think you want this on top:

diff --git a/fsck.c b/fsck.c
index 1789c34..7776660 100644
--- a/fsck.c
+++ b/fsck.c
@@ -281,7 +281,7 @@ static int fsck_ident(const char **ident, struct object *obj, fsck_error error_f
 
 static int fsck_commit(struct commit *commit, fsck_error error_func)
 {
-	char *buffer = commit->buffer;
+	const char *buffer = commit->buffer;
 	unsigned char tree_sha1[20], sha1[20];
 	struct commit_graft *graft;
 	int parents = 0;

Otherwise, gcc will complain about incompatible pointer types.
