Actually, with more research, it looks like this can just be simplified
since info->commit must be non-NULL.  I've analyzed the code and am
confident that's guaranteed to be the case, and the test suite has
confirmed no segfaults by making that assumption, so I'll send a patch
imminently that just does that.
