This is not how you do this, first of all that SHA ID doesn't exist
in any tree other than your's.  It's not an existing commit, but
rather one you are adding in this series.

And secondly, and even more importantly, your patch in this series
is adding this new NULL pointer case.

Therefore you should adjust your first patch to handle this properly
since it introduced the possibility of it happening in the first
place.
