[PATCH v2] reflog-walk: don't segfault on non-commit sha1's in the reflog

[Dennis Kaarsemaker <dennis@kaarsemaker.net>]

Use lookup_commit instead of parse_object to look up commits mentioned
in the reflog. This avoids a segfault in save_parents if somehow a sha1
for something other than a commit ends up in the reflog.

This version implements Junio's way of doing this, to avoid spurious warnings
and to handle broken commit objects better.

I also added a failing test to show that git reflog still fails to display the
full reflog when it encounters such non-commit objects (it just stops when it
seems them). I don't know how to fix that.

The really correct way of fixing this bug may actually be a level higher, and
making git reflog not rely on information about parent commits, whether they
are fake or not.
