Easy: There are flags that apply to other types of objects; e.g.
NOT_USER_GIVEN only applies to trees and blobs.

Adding a commit flags field sounds easy, but requires duplicating
several functions that work with object flags, e.g.
clear_commit_marks().  And there's the risk of confusing the two
flags types.
