rev-parse: check lookup'ed commit references for NULL
Commits
2122f8b963d4 ("rev-parse: Add support for the ^! and ^@ syntax",
2008-07-26) and
3dd4e7320d ("Teach rev-parse the ... syntax.", 2006-07-04)
taught rev-parse new syntax, and used lookup_commit_reference() as part of
their logic. Neither usage checked the returned commit to see if it was
non-NULL before using it. Check for NULL and ensure an appropriate error
is reported to the user.
