The pointer can no longer be NULL here.

And the above allocation failure check would now need to be here.

Howveer, this whole mechanism is a bit silly. The caller receives the
full list of traversed commits, and *changed_commit points at a newly
allocated copy of the last commit on this list.

Couldn't the caller use STAILQ_LAST to find the same commit, so we
can get rid of the unneccesary copy and **changed_commit_id in this
function entirely?
