Static analysis points out that the function above has a check for
'if (!bridge)', implying that bridge maybe NULL, but it is dereferenced
before the check, which could result in a NULL dereference.

Fix this by moving any accesses to the bridge structure after the NULL
check.

I think I know why git-format-patch added them.. I had --base turned on
via gitconfig. I didn't manually specify the base, so it tried to
deduce it using @upstream, but the upstream's remote wasn't fetched, so
it used the last known point in the local history.

I just did a git fetch --all, and format-patch -1 again, and now it
only generates the base-commit as you'd expect. Lesson - fetch your
remotes frequently :)  The whole thing was a side effect of using a
hack for multiple push-urls in a single remote.
