merge: fix NULL pointer dereference when merging nothing into voidjv/merge-nothing-into-void
When we are on an unborn branch and merging only one foreign parent,
we allow "git merge" to fast-forward to that foreign parent commit.
This codepath incorrectly attempted to dereference the list of
parents that the merge is going to record even when the list is
empty. It must refuse to operate instead when there is no parent.
All other codepaths make sure the list is not empty before they
dereference it, and are safe.
