use parse_commit_or_die instead of segfaulting

Some unchecked calls to parse_commit should obviously die on
error, because their next step is to start looking at the
parsed fields, which will cause a segfault. These are
obvious candidates for parse_commit_or_die, which will be a
strict improvement in behavior.
