given that we want onto to be a commit I'm not sure how this makes anything clearer.

it makes it clearer that we need only the oid, not any other part of the commit object. and pulling ahead the "extraction" reduces the visual noise further down.

As a side effect, this change revealed that skip_unnecessary_picks() was
butchering the commit object due to missing const-correctness. Slightly
adjust its API to rectify this.

I don't think this is correct. If you look at the original code it makes a copy of the oid and uses the copy when calling skip_unnecessary_picks()

oops, you're quite right. (facepalm)
imo the change still makes sense, though, as it replaces the relatively expensive deep copies with simple pointer updates. so just fix the commit message?

I think you should just drop this patch. Copying struct object_id is cheap and idiomatic in the code base. If you grep for

"struct object_id \*\*[a-zA-Z0-9_]*[,)]"

you'll see that there are very few matches and all but one of those are passing an array.

Best Wishes
