I do not like this kind of patches in general.  Where will it end?

"I wanted to know how to list objects recorded in a commit, and I
could have used a reference to git-ls-tree from git-commit, so here
is a patch to make them refer to each other"?

That kind of overfiew is what the tutorial (for concepts like the
index, tree objects, commit objects, etc.) and the list of commands
in git(1).  Is there compelling reason other than "I didn't bother
to look, and it is likely other people wouldn't" to apply patches
like this?
