Yeah, I tried making the second conditional its own loop, but I agree it
probably ought to be part of a single loop looking for a sane parent
entry.

I don't think this is quite right, though. We've decremented "recno"
after assigning the old pointer to "reflog". So in the existing code,
"reflog" in that second conditional pointing to the _next_ entry (or
previous, really, since we are going in reverse order).
So I think you'd need to look at commit->reflog again (after checking
that we didn't go past the start of the array).
