[PATCH] parse_commit_buffer: don't parse invalid commits

[Martin Koegler <mkoegler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

* check, that the tree line ends with \n
* prevent parse_commit_date from reading beyond the buffer,
  - if author line does not end with \n
  - if committer line does not contain >
* verify in parse_commit_date, that the commiter line ends with \n
