Nice.  Thanks for explaining.

I guess you mean the check that cur->item->buffer is non-NULL. But now I am confused --- what would that have to do with instruction sheets with missing commit subjects? If cur->item->buffer is NULL, isn't find_commit_subject going to segfault regardless?

Can cur->item->buffer be NULL?
