In the initial implementation of "git reflog" in 4264dc15e19 (git
reflog expire, 2006-12-19) we had this
lookup_commit_reference_gently().

I don't think we've ever found tags that we need to recursively
dereference in reflogs, so this should at least be changed to a
"lookup commit" as I'm doing here, although I can't think of a way
where it mattered in practice.

I also think we'd probably like to just die here if we have a NULL
object, but as this code needs to handle potentially broken
repositories let's just show an "error" but continue, the non-quiet
lookup_commit() will do for us. None of our tests cover the case where
"commit" is NULL after this lookup.
