log_tree_diff: die when we fail to parse a commit

We currently call parse_commit and then assume we can
dereference the resulting "tree" struct field. If parsing
failed, however, that field is NULL and we end up
segfaulting.

Instead of a segfault, let's print an error message and die
a little more gracefully.

Note that this should never happen in practice, but may
happen in a corrupt repository.
