Thanks. As a double-check that I caught all of the 'maybe_tree' 
accesses, I ran the following:

$ git grep maybe_tree | grep -v get_commit_tree
commit-graph.c: item->maybe_tree = NULL;
commit-graph.c: c->maybe_tree = lookup_tree(&oid);
commit-graph.c: return c->maybe_tree;
commit-graph.c: if (c->maybe_tree)
commit-graph.c:         return c->maybe_tree;
commit.c:       if (commit->maybe_tree || !commit->object.parsed)
commit.c:               return commit->maybe_tree;
commit.c:       item->maybe_tree = lookup_tree(&parent);
commit.h:       struct tree *maybe_tree;
contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci:- &c->maybe_tree->object.oid
contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci:- c->maybe_tree->object.oid.hash
contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci:- c->maybe_tree
contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci:+ c->maybe_tree = s
contrib/coccinelle/commit.cocci:+ return c->maybe_tree;
merge-recursive.c:      commit->maybe_tree = tree;

Thanks,
