 /**
+ * Commit creation callback: used when a function is going to create
+ * commits (for example, in `git_rebase_commit`) to allow callers to
+ * override the commit creation behavior.  For example, users may
+ * wish to sign commits by providing this information to
+ * `git_commit_create_buffer`, signing that buffer, then calling
+ * `git_commit_create_with_signature`.  The resultant commit id
+ * should be set in the `out` object id parameter.
+ *
+ * @param out pointer that this callback will populate with the object
+ *            id of the commit that is created
+ * @param author the author name and time of the commit
+ * @param committer the committer name and time of the commit
+ * @param message_encoding the encoding of the given message, or NULL
+ *                         to assume UTF8
+ * @param message the commit message
+ * @param tree the tree to be committed
+ * @param parent_count the number of parents for this commit
+ * @param parents the commit parents
+ * @param payload the payload pointer in the rebase options
+ * @return 0 if this callback has created the commit and populated the out
+ *         parameter, GIT_PASSTHROUGH if the callback has not created a
+ *         commit and wants the calling function to create the commit as
+ *         if no callback had been specified, any other value to stop
+ *         and return a failure
